Its primary objective is to provide excellent free public education and guidance to students in grades K-12 in a safe environment that enables students to be successful, caring, and knowledgeable members of our community. A primary goal of the School has been to earn and maintain high marks in Arizona's system of rating schools based on student achievement. The Arizona Department of Education gave 'A' ratings to both campuses (Elementary and High School) for school years 2016-17 and 2017-18 and to the High School in 2018-19. U.S. News and World Report recognized the high school as being one of America's best in multiple years, the most recent in 2019. Scores on the AzMerit test exceeded results for the State and neighboring schools for both campuses in the last four years, and for all but 6th and 8th grade in 2018-19. 17864054 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 1 1 0 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 14 0 1 379 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 5 5 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 X Dan Bigler 6234557400 12775 North 175th Avenue Surprise AZ 85388 Jerry Salcedo Board Member 1.00 X X 0 0 0 Richard Marstella Board Member 1.00 X X 0 0 0 Dennis Bloodworth Board Member 1.00 X X 0 0 0 Mike Gent Board Member 1.00 X X 0 0 0 Laura Keith Board Member 1.00 X X 0 0 0 Patrick Schrader Executive Director 40.00 X 95525 0 14457 Ed McDonald Assistant Director 40.00 X 70991 0 11439 Dan Bigler Finance Director 30.00 X 76450 0 6663 242966 0 32559 0 0 0 0 Sodexo PO Box 360170 Pittsburgh PA 15251 Student Meals 464374 Plan B Facility Services PO Box 7758 Surprise AZ 85374 Janitorial services 259672 Progressive Therapy LLC 17958 W Brown St Waddell AZ 85355 Special education 174247 Turf Equipment Source 1101 N 27th Ave Phoenix AZ 85009 Field Maintenance 104276 4 22110113 417301 22527414 Food Service Revenue 611710 309653 309653 Cubs Connection Progra 611710 244932 244932 Enrichment Program 611710 106914 106914 Kiddie Paradise Progra 611710 91787 91787 Athletic Fees 611710 90149 90149 54633 54633 898068 242515 242515 PEP Booster 611710 101836 101836 Miscellaneous Revenue 611710 70364 70364 56168 56168 228368 23896365 1126436 0 242515 259721 259721 11236419 9465448 1770971 1302426 1063941 238485 1741993 1411220 330773 855841 706340 149501 622381 429542 192839 947280 832830 114450 136260 136260 1148296 1148296 2096305 1823785 272520 1381614 1202004 179610 Food Service 453778 453778 Fieldtrips 125871 125871 Tuition 46318 46318 225402 166717 58685 22579905 17864054 4715851 0 2851927 3853946 10016 10017 525316 298670 42 58755167 11483863 41161093 47271304 5371716 15084529 49920110 66518466 673701 2420918 57821 56886 46061820 59732901 136936 74868 1153695 1449027 48083973 63734600 X 1292657 2180139 543480 603727 1836137 2783866 49920110 66518466 X 1316460 -368731 X 0 1 X 1 0 X 5760195 5760195 39396866 6982301 32414565 5738026 3510255 2227771 7860080 991307 6868773 47271304 Restricted cash and investments held with trustee 15028750 Deposits 55779 15084529 Due to Student Groups 107196 Refundable Deposits 3300 Interest Payable 1336674 Due to Others 1857 1449027 23896365 0 23896365 0 23896365 22579905 0 22579905 0 22579905 1 1 0 1 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 1 Schedule E, Part I, Line 3 The Organization publicizes its racially nondiscriminatory policy on its website and on its registration forms.
