ASPC - SAFFORD/FT. GRANT/A.C.I.

ASPC - Safford/Ft. Grant/A.C.I. is a public school that is part of the Arizona Department of Corrections (8336) school district, located in Safford, AZ.

The location you identified, located at 896 S. Cook Rd. in Safford, Arizona, is not a traditional K-12 school; rather, it is the site of the **Arizona State Prison Complex (ASPC) – Safford**, which includes the Fort Grant and Arizona Correctional Industries (A.C.I.) units. In the context of the correctional system, "schooling" or educational programming at this facility is designed for adult inmates rather than children.

The educational programs provided at this facility are managed by the Arizona Department of Corrections, Rehabilitation, and Reentry (ADCRR). These initiatives are centered on vocational training, adult basic education (ABE), and GED preparation. The primary goal of these programs is to provide incarcerated individuals with the literacy skills, technical certifications, and life skills necessary to improve their employability and facilitate successful reintegration into society upon their release.

In addition to traditional classroom instruction, the A.C.I. (Arizona Correctional Industries) component plays a significant role in the facility’s "on-the-job" educational model. Through this program, inmates receive hands-on work experience and industry-recognized training in various trades. By combining academic study with vocational labor, the facility functions as a specialized training center intended to reduce recidivism by equipping inmates with practical, marketable skills that they can apply in the workforce after serving their sentences.
