Education

Blackwater Community School, a grade K-2 Bureau of Indian Education Grant School, and Akimel O'Otham Pee Posh Charter School Inc., a grade 3-5 state charter school, are co-located in Blackwater and operate de facto as a single school. Blackwater Community School opened in 1939 to serve Blackwater and Sacaton Flats. Initially the school had fewer than 100 students. In 2000 the charter school opened; the U.S. Congress had a moratorium on the expansion of BIE schools, and the Blackwater community wanted an expansion of the Blackwater Community School. The charter school opened as a way of expanding the school.[3]
