Tempe has 3 documented small schools in the Phoenix region — Microschools (2), Small & Specialized Private Schools (1). 1 of the 3 publish tuition and 0 record a funding program with a named source. Every figure is computed from these 3 listings alone.
This page exists because Tempe clears our three-school bar for a standalone area page; smaller towns in the Phoenix region are browsable from the metro page with the area filter applied — the same facet selects the same schools.

The 3 documented schools here are Grace Place Learning Lab, Primer Microschools - Tempe and The Autism Academy - Tempe. The full list with filters is above — each listing shows tuition state, days per week, grade band and funding with its source and check date.
1 of 3 (33%). Where tuition is unpublished, the listing shows the gap plainly with the school's phone and admissions page — and schools can claim the listing free to publish it.
None of the 3 schools in Tempe records a funding program in a source we could check. That is a documentation state, not a no — ask the school directly; the prep card on each listing carries the question.
How a school gets on this page: from a public-record source (NCES, a state list, a program provider list, or a network locator) or the school’s own published pages. Trust states describe how the facts were confirmed; they are not a quality judgement, and schools are never ordered by quality.
This page exists because at least three documented listings sit in Tempe. Areas with fewer listings appear on the Phoenix hub with the area filter applied instead — no thin pages.
