Original Research by School Decision on David Kazan Family Educational Center
The David Kazan Family Educational Center is a preschool program that serves only prekindergarten students. It is a regular public school within the Isaac Elementary District in Phoenix. Because the school serves only the earliest grade, it has no state testing results, no graduation rate, and no other academic performance measures that apply to schools with tested grades. A parent looking for standardized test scores or achievement data for this school will not find any; the lack of data is simply a function of the grade band it serves.
The school reported an enrollment of zero students in its most recent data, which is unusual for an active facility. It is possible the count reflects a start-up phase, a program that runs on a different calendar, or a reporting gap, but the data provided does not explain the reason. Enrollment by race and ethnicity was reported as zero across all categories as well. Information on the share of students who qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, receive special education services, or are English learners was missing entirely, as were any discipline, staffing, or attendance figures. Because the school does not serve tested grades, it could not be compared to other schools or districts on proficiency, graduation, or chronic absenteeism measures.
The Isaac Elementary District, which oversees this school, was the subject of a search for recent changes, but little of lasting impact was found. The district brief did not identify any major shifts, new programs, or leadership changes that would affect how a family views this preschool offering.
Phoenix, where the school is located, is a large and fast-growing urban center. The economy has moved beyond its agricultural roots into services, technology, manufacturing, and tourism. Sky Harbor International Airport is a key transportation hub. The city has a flat topography with a grid street system that is car-oriented. Housing in the 85031 zip code, where the school sits, had home values slightly below the state average and well below the national average, with values declining moderately compared to a year ago. Rents were a bit higher than the year before. For context, national mortgage rates were around six and a half percent, and the unemployment rate was just above four percent. These conditions give a broad sense of the local economic setting, but the school itself operates at an early childhood level and does not draw heavily on many of these factors in the same way a K-12 school might.
The David Kazan Family Educational Center is a pre-K program whose basic profile is thin in public data. A family considering it would need to contact the Isaac Elementary District directly to learn about the program's curriculum, daily schedule, enrollment process, and whether it serves children with special needs or offers any early intervention services. There is no available information about class size, staff qualifications, or program hours. The school may run a standard half-day or full-day preschool, but the data does not say. For a family looking for a pre-K placement in west Phoenix, this school exists on the district's roster, but the publicly available picture does not answer most practical questions about what a child's experience there would be like.
