About the company
Desert Star Community School, a tax-exempt nonprofit based in Cornville, Arizona, is a federal grant recipient under the Small, Rural School Achievement Program administered by the Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education. The school operates as a prime recipient on formula grants (91% of its recent federal awards) with minimal subrecipient engagement (9%), and has no presence on federal contract vehicles.
Desert Star's federal footprint is entirely concentrated with a single customer agency — the Department of Education accounted for all 22 awards in the source data. The school receives recurring annual allocations under the Small, Rural School Achievement Program, with five consecutive formula grants awarded each July from 2022 through 2026, each running through the following September 30. Combined obligations across all awards total $1.4 million. In addition to its prime grant role, Desert Star received two subrecipient awards from the Arizona Department of Education: a sub-award in March 2023 to run a program per ESSER III (Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief) grant guidelines, and a prior sub-award in September 2022 under similar grant administration.
Activity volume has declined substantially. The source shows two awards per year in 2022 and 2023, declining to one award each in 2024, 2025, and 2026. One award reaches ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months — the July 2025 Small, Rural School Achievement Program grant completing September 30, 2026. The school's federal engagement is limited to K–12 education funding and carries no contract footprint, vehicle relationships, or commercial-service delivery to federal agencies. Desert Star operates as an educational institution serving a rural Arizona community through federally supported but institutionally controlled programming.
