Original Research by School Decision on Open Doors Community School Inc. (91238)
Open Doors Community School Inc. is a tiny district in Pima County that serves only middle school grades, a narrow band that sets it apart from nearly every other district in the area. Because the district runs a single school that is now listed as inactive, and because the district itself has no confirmed operational status in the available public records, it is unclear whether it is currently enrolling students. A parent or resident looking into this entity should treat the status as uncertain and should verify directly with the district or the Arizona Department of Education before taking any action.
The district's state assessment results come from a single school year and cover only a small number of students in grades three through eight. Across those tested grades, English language arts proficiency rates were low, with the highest outcome at roughly one in three students scoring proficient in sixth grade and the lowest at about one in five in third grade. Math proficiency rates were lower still. The strongest math result was in third grade, where roughly two in five students scored proficient, but by fifth grade that figure dropped to below one in ten. In sixth grade math, about one in ten students scored proficient. Results for several grade levels, including seventh and eighth grade in both subjects, were suppressed, meaning too few students took the tests to report a reliable rate. Participation rates were low across the board, often at half or less of enrolled students, which means the reported results may not represent the full student body. Science proficiency results were fully suppressed and cannot be evaluated.
When placed among Pima County's districts, the district's overall proficiency index lands in the bottom quartile. The comparison set includes all districts in the county, and the district sits well below the midpoint. The graduation rate does not apply because the district serves no high school grades.
Enrollment, demographics, economic data, and civil rights indicators are all missing from the available records. There is no information on how many students attend, what share qualifies for free or reduced-price lunch, what the racial and ethnic makeup is, or how many students have disabilities or are learning English. The district does not report staffing, discipline, chronic absenteeism, or per-pupil spending data. A parent who is considering this school would need to ask the district directly for these basics.
Program offerings are similarly absent. There is no list of electives, arts, athletics, or any specialized academic tracks for this middle-grade-only entity. The physical location of the district is not given in the records, though the charter school district's name is associated with Marana in publicly available sources. The district brief found no evidence of recent curriculum changes, referendums, pedagogy shifts, or other parent-relevant developments. The search was conducted but yielded only basic profile and financial data.
In short, this is a district that exists largely in outline form in the public data. For a family, the central question is whether it is still active. If it is, the academic evidence from a single year shows a student body performing well below county averages, with very low participation on state tests making even that picture incomplete. There is no demographic or programmatic context to help a parent judge fit. Any family considering this district should start by confirming its operational status and then requesting a full picture of enrollment, staffing, curriculum, and student support.
