Original Research by School Decision on Kaizen Education Foundation Dba Colegio Petite Pho (92989)
Kaizen Education Foundation dba Colegio Petite Phoenix is a small elementary district serving kindergarten through fifth grade in Maricopa County. The district consists of a single school, Colegio Petite Arizona. Because the district serves only the early elementary grades, it has no high school graduation rate to report.
The student body is almost entirely Hispanic, with a very small number of white students. Data on how many students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, receive special education services, or are identified as English learners was not available. A parent may want to follow up with the district directly for that information.
State testing results are available for the school year that ended in 2022. On the English language arts assessment, the share of students scoring at the proficient level or above was low across all tested grades. Third-grade proficiency was around that floor, and fourth and fifth graders were at a similar low mark. In math, the pattern for the most recent year with reported data shows proficiency at a modest level. Science results for fifth grade from the school year ending in 2025 were suppressed, meaning the state did not release a precise figure, though the number of students tested was reported. The participation rate on the ELA tests was reported at a level that meets typical state thresholds, so the results reflect the students who took the exam.
When placed against the other districts in Maricopa County, the district's overall proficiency across tested subjects and grades sits in the bottom quartile. This is a clear soft spot in the academic picture. The chronic absenteeism rate falls below the midpoint among the county's districts, meaning the district has a somewhat lower rate of chronic absence than many of its peers, though the rate itself is still substantial. Per-pupil current spending is in the middle range, landing in the upper half, which suggests the district's financial resources are broadly in line with what similar districts in the county spend.
The search for recent district-level changes turned up only basic enrollment and finance data, with no announcements or developments that met the four-year threshold for lasting impact. No district priorities or strategic shifts could be identified.
For a family considering this district, the academic proficiency numbers are the central concern. The district serves a single elementary school with a small enrollment and a homogeneous student population. The spending level is typical for the county. The absenteeism rate is better than many nearby districts, but still notable. A parent exploring this option would want to understand what academic supports are in place and how the school approaches instruction, particularly in light of the state assessment results.
