The American Charter Schools Foundation dba Ridgeview district operates a single public charter high school, Ridgeview College Preparatory High School, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 196 students.

Ridgeview College Preparatory High School's academic performance, as measured by proficiency rates in English Language Arts (ELA), Mathematics, and Science, is generally lower than the district and state averages. In the 2023-2024 school year, the school's ELA proficiency rate was 46%, compared to the district and state averages of 46% and 38%, respectively. In Mathematics, the school's proficiency rate was 26%, compared to the district and state averages of 26% and 30%. The school's Science proficiency rate for 2022-2023 was 21%, on par with the district and state averages. The school's ranking and rating by SchoolDigger, which places it in the bottom half of Arizona high schools, indicates that it is performing below average compared to other schools in the state.

Despite the school's academic challenges, it serves a diverse student population, with 44.39% White, 11.73% African American, 34.69% Hispanic, 1.53% Asian, 1.53% Native American, and 6.12% two or more races. Additionally, 36.22% of students at Ridgeview College Preparatory High School received free or reduced-price lunch in the 2022-2023 school year, suggesting the school serves a population with lower socioeconomic status. The school's spending of $16,468 per student is higher than the national average, but it is unclear how this spending is allocated and whether it is effectively improving student outcomes.
