Original Research by School Decision on Humanities and Sciences High School - Phoenix
Humanities and Sciences High School – Phoenix is no longer operating. The state lists it as inactive, and its parent organization, the International Commerce Secondary Schools Inc. charter district, appears to have little public footprint of recent activity. For a family or resident researching school options, the most important fact to know is that this school is not currently enrolling students, and any records attached to it are historical.
The school was a regular charter school serving a single grade, marked as "M through M" in the state data, a designation that typically covers middle school grades. It was located on North 7th Street in Phoenix, placing it within the city's central corridor. Phoenix itself is a large, sprawling urban center and a major hub for services, technology, and manufacturing. The area around this address is a mix of commercial and older residential neighborhoods, with a car-oriented street grid typical of the city. Housing values in the ZIP code are somewhat above the state median, and rental prices have seen a small dip over the past year. The broader Phoenix housing market has softened slightly compared to national trends, but remains expensive relative to many parts of the country.
Because the school is inactive, the data profile is largely empty. There are no state assessment results, no enrollment figures, no demographic breakdowns, no graduation rate, and no information on program offerings, staffing, or discipline. The comparison tool that places schools among Maricopa County districts found no proficiency index, no graduation rate, and no chronic absenteeism rate to evaluate. This absence is not due to the grade band or a special population—it is because the school has no current operational data to report. For a parent trying to evaluate this school, there is simply nothing from which to draw a conclusion about academic performance, student culture, or support services.
The charter district itself, International Commerce Secondary Schools Inc., returned no parent-relevant changes or strategic priorities in a search of recent public records. This lack of information is consistent with a small charter network whose single school has closed.
In short, Humanities and Sciences High School – Phoenix is a closed school. Any historical data that may have existed is not available in current public datasets. A family should treat this as a non-option and look to other schools in the Phoenix area, where the public, charter, and private landscapes offer many active choices. The school’s location near central Phoenix remains a residential and commercial area, but no educational program exists there now.
