Desert Star Academy is the sole elementary public charter school serving grades K-8 in the Fort Mohave area of Arizona. This school generally performs above the state average on standardized tests, with higher proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics compared to the Arizona state average across multiple grade levels. With a predominantly White student population (72.29%), Desert Star Academy also has notable racial diversity, including 22.71% Hispanic students and smaller percentages of other racial/ethnic groups.

The school has 480 students enrolled and spent $8,581 per student in the 2018-2019 school year. However, the school's 7.6% dropout rate in 2021-2022 is higher than the state average and could be an area for improvement.
Overall, Desert Star Academy appears to be a solid-performing elementary school that is providing a quality education to its diverse student population. The school's academic achievements and consistent state ranking are positive indicators, though the higher-than-average dropout rate is a potential area of concern that the school may want to investigate further.
