An A rating reflects excellence: distinguished performance on statewide assessments, significant student growth, high four-year graduation rates, and a strong trajectory toward proficiency. Overall, our performance significantly exceeds the state average. As we dive into this rating, some remarkable statistics emerge. Out of 602 schools across Arizona, The K-12 Recker Campus ranked 50th—an incredible achievement!

As you know, we offer three educational paths: Mainstream, Gifted, and Montessori. We are excited to announce that our Montessori program will be going through high school at the Recker Campus.
