Explore Academy - Peoria (1002006)

Explore Academy - Peoria is a newly established independent public charter district situated at 17667 N 91st Ave in Peoria, Arizona. Located in a thriving suburban setting within the greater Phoenix-Mesa-Chandler metropolitan region, this single-school district provides tailored public charter education options for families across the West Valley. Structured to serve middle and early high school grade levels from 6th through 10th grade, the academy currently educates an inaugural student body of 53 pupils concentrated across the 6th, 7th, and 8th grades, including 16 sixth graders, 23 seventh graders, and 14 eighth graders.

The district's initial student body reflects a diverse suburban background, comprising 35 young men and 18 young women representing a variety of racial and ethnic backgrounds, including White, Hispanic, Asian, Black, Multiracial, American Indian, and Pacific Islander students. Because Explore Academy - Peoria is in its initial startup phase for the 2024–2025 academic cycle, baseline full-time equivalent (FTE) staffing figures for teachers and support staff are currently reflected as zero in initial federal reports—a common pattern for brand-new charter facilities completing their inaugural administrative onboarding. For parents, students, and educational researchers, the district offers an emerging secondary education framework designed to expand options within Arizona's suburban public school ecosystem.
