Original Research by School Decision on Pas Charter Inc. Dba Intelli-school (79953)
PAS Charter Inc. dba Intelli-School is a small charter school district in Maricopa County serving grades nine through twelve. The district operates three schools: Intelli-School - Metro Center, Intelli-School Glendale, and PAS Charter Online. Enrollment is small for a high school grade band, and the student body is majority Hispanic, with a substantial white population and smaller shares of Black, American Indian or Alaska Native, Asian, multiracial, and Native Hawaiian or Pacific Islander students. Data on free or reduced-price lunch eligibility was not reported, so the economic profile of the student body is not available from this record.
State testing data was not available across all subjects and grades for this district, so a direct measure of academic proficiency cannot be assessed from the provided evidence. The district's four-year graduation rate was also absent from the data. A parent or resident evaluating academic outcomes here would need to seek that information directly from the district or the state education agency.
The one comparative metric available places the district's chronic absenteeism rate in the bottom quartile of Maricopa County's districts. Chronic absenteeism was reported at the highest possible level within the county cohort, which is a soft spot a family may want to follow up on with the district to understand what attendance patterns look like and what support exists. Per-pupil current spending sits in the upper range among county districts, meaning the district allocates more per student than most of its neighbors, a figure that can reflect the costs of running a small charter network with specialized programming.
The district brief turned up no recent changes meeting the bar of a lasting impact, so the district appears stable from a governance and policy perspective at this time. No community or economic context was provided, so the broader housing market, town character, and local growth context that usually help a family picture the district's setting are absent from this account.
This is a small, charter-based high school district serving a predominantly Hispanic student population across three campuses, one of which is fully online. The absence of academic achievement and graduation data means a parent cannot easily compare outcomes with other options in the county based on this record. The high chronic absenteeism figure is a concrete concern that warrants direct inquiry. For a family considering this district, the natural next step would be to contact the district office or visit one of the school sites to ask about academic expectations, attendance interventions, and how the online and in-person programs differ in practice.
