Graham County Special Services (4217)

Located at 150 E 4th S in Pima, Arizona, Graham County Special Services (4217) is an active, non-charter public school district operating within the rural fringe setting of the broader Safford metropolitan area. Structured as an independent educational service agency, the district oversees a single operational facility designed to support students from pre-kindergarten all the way through 12th grade, as well as providing ungraded specialized programming. Serving the local rural community, the district provides a localized administrative umbrella to meet diverse regional learning needs across all primary and secondary grade levels.

The district currently serves a close-knit student body of 64 students, with its largest concentration situated in early childhood programming—highlighted by 33 pre-kindergarten children—alongside smaller, individualized cohorts in elementary and secondary grades. The student population is demographically varied, comprising 38 White, 12 American Indian, 11 Hispanic, and 3 multiracial students. From a staffing perspective, national reporting data reflects zero direct full-time equivalent (FTE) teachers or instructional aides assigned directly to the district entity, a common metric profile for specialized county service agencies that often coordinate, contract, or share educational staff with neighboring local districts.
