Coding Academy is a A school! A-F School Letter Grades
Earlier this month, the Arizona Department of Education released the 2021-22 A-F School Letter Grades for all Arizona public schools. These letter grades provide information about student achievement, college and career readiness, student growth, and indicators leading to college and career success after high school.
We are excited to report that we have earned an A!
We are extremely proud of our students, teachers, and staff for the great work and engaging learning experiences at Phoenix Coding Academy. We appreciate the continued support from our families and community partners.
