Original Research by School Decision on Cafa Inc. Dba Learning Foundation and Performing (90328)
CAFA Inc. dba Learning Foundation and Performing is a small district in Maricopa County. It serves a single grade band that corresponds to middle school. The district contains one school, Learning Foundation and Performing Arts Alta Mesa, which is listed as inactive. That status means the school is not currently operating, and families considering this district will want to confirm whether any active enrollment options exist.
The academic picture is fragmentary. The only state assessment result that the data reports directly is a science proficiency rate for fourth grade from a year prior to the pandemic. That single metric placed the district above the midpoint among Maricopa County's districts in overall proficiency. The limited data makes it difficult to assess performance across subjects and grade levels; most math and English language arts results for later years were suppressed, likely because the group of students tested was too small to report reliably. For a few grade levels, the number of students tested was available and showed a small cohort. Participation in state testing during the most recent assessment year was uneven: some grade levels had participation rates at a typical level, while others had notably lower rates. A parent looking into this district may want to ask the school about testing participation patterns and how academic progress is measured for all students.
No enrollment data, demographic information, or free-or-reduced-price lunch figures were available in the data. Because the district serves only middle-school grades, it does not have a graduation rate. The district’s programs and course offerings were also not provided.
The overriding fact for a parent or resident is the inactive status of the district’s single school. Without an active campus, this entity likely does not offer a current enrollment option. Anyone with an interest should contact the district directly to clarify its operational status and whether it plans to reopen.
