Who is Prescott Valley Charter School?

Rigor ∙ Relevance ∙ Excellence 


Serving the quad-city area since 2002

Prescott Valley School is a preschool through 12th grade, accredited, and highly performing public charter school in Prescott Valley, AZ. Prescott Valley School opened in 2002 with a simple vision: to provide a quality educational option to the parents and students of the greater Quad-city area.

​

To prepare students to become contributing members of an increasingly global society, PVS exposes students to relevant 21st century issues, problem solving, and critical thinking across the rigorous curriculum. 

​

Through these efforts PVS has diligently worked to holistically enhance curriculum and course offerings in math, language arts, science, social studies, physical education, music and the arts to facilitate a program of excellence in education.

DEAR PARENTS AND COMMUNITY STAKEHOLDERS,

Over the last 3 years PVS has been working diligently to improve in many areas. Our recent growth and academic gains as a school are attributed to the tremendous support of our faculty, parents and community. We thank you for your support, because without you none of this would be possible!

Here are just a few of our recent accomplishments as well as what is in progress for the fall of 2025:

  • Adding 10th grade back to our grade levels served to become a K-12 again over the next few years! (11th will be added in fall 2025)​

​

  • Deployment of 50 additional student laptops to further enhance technology use and availability in the classroom​

​

  • In March of 2024, PVCS successfully secured bond financing to further remodel the Lorna campus (K-3), and acquired a second campus through private financing to serve grades 4-12, which opened to students in July 2024!​

​

  • Expansion of our transportation services through the addition of a 5th bus route to accommodate our families in areas we currently do not reach (a 6th route is in process to begin serving outside of the PV area for fall of 2025)​

​

  • Our students and faculty are diligently working toward exceeding state standards and we are designated as a highly performing school with the State with a letter grade of a “B” as of fall 2024!​

​

  • The PVCS team successfully hosted a renewal with Cognia for school wide accreditation good through June of 2029!

In addition to what is to come, I have to say that the PVS faculty is the most committed and dedicated group of educators I have ever worked with. Our team always defers to, “What is best for kids?”. No matter the challenge, our faculty and staff have the focus and determination to overcome all odds.

Most of all, I need to congratulate the PVS students.

 

The students have taken on the challenge of demonstrating that regardless of ethnicity or socioeconomic background ALL students can achieve academic success! The PVS mantra of rigor, relevance and excellence is embedded in our daily operations, which is evident through our focus on preparing our youth for life after graduation and beyond.

WHAT'S NEXT? 

PVCS does not stop there! More changes and improvements are on the horizon. Our faculty continue to work diligently to increase the rigor of our instructional program to assist ALL students in realizing their learning goals and aspirations. Current initiatives are as follows:

​

  • The planning process of adding grades 11-12 has started as of April 1, 2025, through a $750,000 three-year grant from the Arizona Charter School Program funded by the AZ Department of Education to include curriculum updates, updated technology for the Florentine campus, and professional development for our teachers!

​

  • Architectural plans are in process for closing in the outside patio eating area at the Florentine site to add a heated/cooled indoor eating area for students starting Fall of 2025.

​

  • Recruitment of an additional Dean of Students is underway to assist with school culture at the Florentine site by Fall of 2025.

​

  • Our current FULL TIME school based counselor has been renewed under a grant through June 2026

​

  • AND while the state cut funding for school nurses in 2024, PVCS will retain our full time registered nurse to support the whole child to ensure academic success, all while STILL maintaining small class sizes to maximize intervention and personalized attention for all learners.

​

PVCS appreciates your continued support. If at any time you have questions or comments please email me at wmfuller@pvschool.com or call 928-772-8744.
