Original Research by School Decision on Self Development Eastmark Academy
Self Development Eastmark Academy is a charter school that no longer operates. Located in Mesa, Arizona, the school served a range of elementary and middle grades before closing in 2023. Publicly reported records list its status as temporarily closed for the 2024–2025 school year, meaning the district of the same name currently has no operational school for students.
The school was part of the sprawling suburban landscape of Mesa, a large city that combines residential neighborhoods, commercial corridors, aerospace and manufacturing nodes, and a modest downtown. Mesa is overwhelmingly auto-oriented, with wide arterial roads and strip commercial defining most of the built environment; daily life depends heavily on driving. The area has seen sustained growth, with new housing continuing to push eastward, though the school itself is no longer accepting students.
Because Self Development Eastmark Academy served only early and middle grades, it had no high school graduation rate. State testing results were available for a single subject and grade level, but those results were suppressed, likely due to the school’s small size preventing public reporting. Beyond that, enrollment figures, demographic data, and other academic performance measures were not available for the school’s final years of operation. The school did not have any programmatic offerings listed in the data we examined.
For a family considering this area, the central fact is that Self Development Eastmark Academy is closed. The charter district that bears its name has no functioning school. Any parent looking for a school near this location would need to turn to other public, charter, or private options in Mesa or the surrounding East Valley. The city itself offers a wide range of school choices, including Mesa Public Schools—one of the largest districts in Arizona—as well as numerous other charter schools, but this particular school is not one of them.
