The average enrollments for the entire school per year are 38 students, which provides a more one on one education.
The school provides an individualized curriculum that is challenging as well as focused on mastering the skills needed to succeed whether joining the workforce or attending a higher educational facility.

In the state of Arizona in order to graduate from high school, all students attending a public school including public charter schools must pass the AIMS series of exams in 10th grade. The students at Edge High School Northwest Campus participated in the exam with the percentages of students that passed or exceeded the exam are listed below.
In reading, 67% of 10th graders passed or exceeded the exam, in science 25%, in writing 67%, and in math 15%. With scores that are quite low, it would be in your best interest to talk with parents and students that are involved with the school prior to enrolling your student. Reading and writing are not bad which is around the same percentages seen across the state, however, science and math seem low when compared to state averages.
