Original Research by School Decision on Harvest Power Community Development Group Inc. (79501)
Harvest Power Community Development Group Inc. operates as a K-12 district in Yuma County, Arizona, though no street address, city, or locale information was available in our data. The district serves a school community that is overwhelmingly Hispanic, comprising the vast majority of the student body, with small shares of White, Asian, Black, and Native American students. The exact share of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch was not reported in our data, nor were counts for students with disabilities or English learners. The district includes two schools: Harvest Preparatory Academy and Harvest Preparatory Academy San Luis AZ. Enrollment tapers from the elementary grades through high school, with the largest concentrations in the lower and middle grades and smaller cohorts in grades 9 through 12, which is a pattern that parents may want to ask the district about in terms of retention.
Academically, state assessment results from the 2024-25 school year show that proficiency rates in math and English language arts are low across all tested grades. In math, the share of students scoring proficient or above ranged from under a tenth in grade 7 to about a third in grade 4. In English language arts, proficiency was roughly a fifth to a third of students, with the highest rate reported in grade 8. Science results were also low, with about a quarter of grade 5 students and a smaller share of grade 8 students meeting proficiency. When compared with other districts in Yuma County, Harvest Power’s overall proficiency index falls in the bottom quartile. Only a single year of state data was available for this analysis, so we cannot assess whether these results represent a stable pattern or a year-to-year shift. The district’s chronic absenteeism rate places it in the bottom quartile among Yuma County districts, a soft spot that families may wish to discuss with school leadership. The four-year graduation rate was not available in our data. Per-pupil current spending is in the lower range among the county’s districts.
No data was available on course access, such as Advanced Placement, dual enrollment, or career and technical education offerings, nor on staffing ratios, discipline rates, or the district’s Title I status. The district brief, based on publicly reported information, turned up no recent curriculum changes, referendum campaigns, property-tax actions, or pedagogy shifts, leaving parents without a clear picture of any evolving priorities or investments from the district office. For housing context, we looked for a locale brief but found no town-level data tied to this district in our sources, likely because the district does not correspond to a single named municipality in our data. Parents considering enrollment may want to contact the district directly for details on transportation, boundaries, and any community context not captured here.
Overall, Harvest Power Community Development Group Inc. serves a large population of Hispanic students across the K-12 span, with academic proficiency that lags most other Yuma County districts in the available test data. Absenteeism is a noted challenge. The district’s financial spending per pupil is below the county median. Families looking for a detailed picture of program breadth, staffing, or recent initiatives will find little publicly available in this dataset, and they are advised to reach out to the schools directly.
