Original Research by School Decision on Choice Academies Inc. (90138)
Choice Academies Inc. is a district serving kindergarten through twelfth grade in Maricopa County, Arizona, operating two schools: Adams Traditional Academy and Jefferson Preparatory High School. Its enrollment is modest, with a student body that is predominantly Asian and white, alongside smaller shares of students who are Hispanic, Black, multiracial, and Native Hawaiian or Pacific Islander. Data on the share of students who qualify for free or reduced-price meals, receive special education services, or are English learners was not available, so a parent may want to ask the district directly about the range of support services offered.
Academically, the district performed well on Arizona’s state assessments across the grade levels tested. Proficiency rates in mathematics, English language arts, and science are consistently high, especially in the elementary grades. When placed alongside other districts in Maricopa County, Choice Academies’ overall proficiency index sits among the top quarter, meaning students here score well above the typical county district. The district also reports a low rate of chronic absenteeism, another comparison that falls in the top quarter (a lower rate is better). This combination of strong test results and low absenteeism points to a generally engaged and achieving student population.
The district spends less per student than many of its county peers, placing in the lower range of Maricopa County districts. That lower spending level does not appear to correspond with weaker outcomes based on the available academic data.
The two schools offer a complete K-12 pathway. Adams Traditional Academy likely covers the elementary and middle grades, while Jefferson Preparatory High School serves the upper grades. The high school years have a very small enrollment, with only a handful of students in each grade from nine through twelve. A family considering this high school would want to learn more about the breadth of course offerings, extracurricular activities, and postsecondary guidance available in such a small setting. No graduation rate was reported, so that is another detail to verify directly with the school.
No parent-relevant changes such as curriculum shifts, facility referendums, or enrollment trends were found in publicly reported information for this district. The profile available here reflects only the most recent snapshot of performance and demographics. The district’s location within Maricopa County was not tied to a specific city in the data, so a reader may need to confirm commute and housing context separately.
Choice Academies Inc. presents as a district where academic proficiency is a clear strength relative to other county districts, and where early and middle grade results are particularly strong. The small high school means an intimate secondary experience, but also limits the scale of programs. Families who prioritize solid foundational academics and who are comfortable with a compact high school setting may find this district a good fit. The absence of information on income-based supports and graduation outcomes are gaps worth investigating before making a decision.
