Original Research by School Decision on Mcccd on Behalf of Phoenix College Preparatory Aca (81174)
MCCCD on behalf of Phoenix College Preparatory Academy is a single-school charter district serving grades nine through twelve in Maricopa County. It is a small high school, with an enrollment size appropriate for its grade band. The student body is predominantly Hispanic, with small shares of Black, white, Asian, American Indian or Alaska Native, Native Hawaiian or Pacific Islander, and multiracial students. Data on the share of students who qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, receive special education services, or are English learners was not reported.
State testing data was available for a single school year, so there is no trend to examine. In that year, the school’s proficiency rate in English language arts was above half of tested students, while in math it was below that mark. A parent may want to ask the school about how these results compare to their expectations for college readiness or grade-level mastery. The chronic absenteeism rate, reported as a share of students, sits above the midpoint among Maricopa County’s districts, meaning it is higher than many peers in the county. Per-pupil current spending falls in the lower range compared to other districts in the county.
The district operates a single school, Phoenix College Preparatory Academy. The search for recent parent-relevant changes—such as boundary adjustments, program launches, or leadership turnover—returned no lasting evidence, so there is nothing to describe. This is an entity that appears to be a small charter district with a focused high-school-only mission, and the available data is thin on many dimensions a family might want to consider, such as course offerings, extracurriculars, or college-going outcomes. Potential families would want to contact the school directly to learn about its academic program, support services, and daily environment, as publicly reported information leaves many questions unanswered.
