Arizona Charter Academy (ACA) is a coeducational, public charter school located in Surprise, Arizona, USA. The school population is largely from the cities of El Mirage, Surprise, Peoria, Youngtown and Glendale. ACA provides instructions for students in grades kindergarten through 8th grade. ACA has been designated by the Arizona Learns Achievement Profile as "Performing Plus". It was a candidate for accreditation by the now dissolved North Central Association. The school mascot is a bulldog. Starting in the 2017–2018 school year, this school has dropped the high school portion of the school, making it a K-8 school.[2][3][4][5]
