Painted Desert Demonstration Projects Inc. (79086)

Painted Desert Demonstration Projects Inc. operates as an open, single-school independent charter district situated at 145 Leupp Road in Flagstaff, Arizona. Nestled within a rural, distant community setting in the greater Flagstaff metropolitan area, the district delivers public education designed specifically for elementary and middle school students from kindergarten through eighth grade. As a standalone charter entity managing federal and state programs, the district offers a focused academic setting tailored to meet the needs of families seeking a specialized alternative to traditional public school environments in northern Arizona.

According to the 2024–2025 NCES dataset, the district serves a close-knit student body of 94 pupils, characterized by a predominantly American Indian student population alongside students identifying as multi-racial, White, and Hispanic. A defining element of the district’s operational model is its robust staffing context, employing 38 full-time equivalent teachers dedicated to its single campus. This extraordinarily low student-to-teacher ratio fosters an environment of highly individualized instruction and comprehensive support across all elementary and middle school grades, making it a valuable subject of study for educational researchers and a supportive academic home for local families.
