Quartzsite Elementary School District 4

Quartzsite Elementary School District 4, a local government entity and rural Arizona school district, receives federal grant funding as a prime recipient and sub-recipient through the U.S. Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education, with no federal contracting activity. The district operates as a recipient of formula grants and sub-grants for K-12 education programs rather than as a federal contractor or vendor.

Quartzsite Elementary School District is a U.S. local government school district headquartered in Ehrenberg, Arizona, serving as the prime recipient of four Small, Rural School Achievement Program formula grants from the Office of Elementary and Secondary Education (awards dated July 1 in 2022, 2023, 2025, and 2026, with completion dates through September 30, 2027). The district also receives sub-grants from the Arizona Department of Education, the direct pass-through recipient of federal grant funds, for specialized education programs including Title I, IDEA Basic Section 611 special education services, ESSER III pandemic recovery funding, and professional development initiatives in reading and mathematics instruction.

The district's federal grant footprint concentrates in three customer agencies. The Office of Elementary and Secondary Education accounts for eleven of seventeen awards in the source data; the Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services accounts for four awards; and the Department of Agriculture's Food and Nutrition Service accounts for two awards. The combined dollars obligated across all awards total $1.4 million. The district functions as a sub-recipient on ten of seventeen awards (59% of portfolio), receiving sub-grants directly from the Arizona Department of Education, and as a prime recipient on the four Small, Rural School Achievement Program formula grants (41% of portfolio). Activity across the past five years has been relatively flat (two to four awards annually), with only one award reaching ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, indicating minimal near-term recompete exposure.

The district's work focuses on rural K-12 educational programming, including child-find assessment services for students with potential disabilities, Title I academic support for economically disadvantaged students, special education service delivery under IDEA, teacher professional development in instructional practices and data analysis, and pandemic recovery initiatives. As a school district, Quartzsite Elementary School District 4 does not perform work as a federal contractor or subcontractor to private defense or civilian prime contractors; the entity's federal relationship is exclusively grant-based through state education agencies and federal education offices.
