Arizona Department of Corrections (8336)

Headquartered at 1601 W. Jefferson Street in Phoenix, Arizona, the Arizona Department of Corrections educational agency functions as an active, state-operated school system situated within a large-city setting in the Phoenix-Mesa-Chandler metropolitan region. Operating outside the conventional charter framework, this specialized administrative entity is formally structured with the capacity to serve learners across a broad developmental spectrum spanning from prekindergarten through 12th grade, alongside ungraded educational programming. Rather than managing traditional neighborhood campuses, the district fulfills a dedicated state mandate by overseeing targeted instructional services tailored to individuals within the state correctional system.

Data for the 2024–2025 academic year highlights a specialized secondary enrollment of 37 male students currently concentrated in upper high school levels, comprising 10 tenth-graders, 17 eleventh-graders, and 10 high school seniors. The student population is racially and ethnically diverse, composed of 21 Hispanic, 10 Black, and 6 White students. Central agency reporting indicates zero full-time equivalent (FTE) teaching or site-level support personnel directly assigned under this specific administrative entity, reflecting a common reporting model for state-operated institutional divisions where operational staffing and instructional delivery are administered directly through institutional facilities or associated state programs.
