About

Mingus Mountain Academy is a residential treatment and alternative-school program for adolescent girls in Prescott Valley, Arizona. Arizona's AHCCCS substance-use-disorder report lists Mingus Mountain Academy at 15801 E Don Carlos Drive in Prescott Valley, and a 2024 Arizona Community Foundation giving guide describes the school as a private all-girls alternative high school for students ages 12-17 (AHCCCS report, Arizona Community Foundation).

The academy has operated since the mid-1980s and is included in troubled-teen advocacy directories. Public employment materials from Sequel-era postings described it as a residential treatment center for emotionally and behaviorally at-risk adolescent girls, and advocacy directories identify it as a long-running Arizona program (ZipRecruiter archive, r/troubledteens wiki).
