Original Research by School Decision on Integrity Education Centre
Integrity Education Centre is a public charter school in Tempe that served middle school grades only. The school is no longer operating. Its status is inactive, and it has been closed since at least 2023. That is the single most important fact for any family or resident looking at this school today: there is no active school here to consider.
The school was part of a single-school charter district, Integrity Education Incorporated, which effectively ceased to exist as a public school option when Integrity Education Centre shut its doors. The district brief confirms the closure is a lasting change, so there are no classes, no enrollment, and no future plans evident in the data.
Before it closed, the school had limited academic performance data. In the 2021-22 school year, the school reported state assessment results for eighth grade only. In math, a small share of eighth graders scored proficient or above. In English language arts, the share was similarly low. In science, the proportion meeting the bar also fell in that same range. Testing data for seventh grade was suppressed, so no reliable comparison between the two grade levels is possible. The school's overall proficiency across all tested subjects and grades placed it in the bottom quartile relative to other districts in Maricopa County. No four-year graduation rate was available, which is consistent with a school that only served middle school grades.
No enrollment figures are present in the data. There is no student demographic information, no count of students receiving free or reduced-price meals, no data on students with disabilities or English learners. The data cannot tell you how many students attended, what their backgrounds were, or what supports the school offered. The school's website was listed, but no programs or course access information was available. Discipline, staffing, and attendance data are all absent as well.
Tempe, where the school was located, is an inner suburb of Phoenix with a mixed character. The northern part of the city, especially near the Arizona State University campus and the Valley Metro light rail line, has a fairly dense, urbanized development pattern with high-rise buildings along Tempe Town Lake and the Mill Avenue shopping and entertainment district. The southern parts of Tempe become less dense, with single-family homes, strip malls, and office parks. Major employers include Arizona State University, State Farm, and several corporate headquarters such as GoDaddy and First Solar. The city has seen commercial and high-rise development along the lake, transforming the downtown skyline. It remains a growing suburb of Phoenix.
Housing values in the area around the school were below the state average at the time of this data. Rents also sat slightly below the state benchmark. The broader economic context includes a national 30-year fixed mortgage rate that has fluctuated in recent months, and a national unemployment rate that has held steady.
For a parent or resident, the bottom line is clear. This school does not exist as an active option. If you are looking at Tempe for a middle school, you would need to look at the other public, charter, or private schools in the city. Integrity Education Centre has no current enrollment, no academic program to evaluate, and no path forward. The data provides no reason to consider it further.
