Welcome to our Mighty Little School!

PFC James D. Price Elementary School is a K–5 public school located at the Yuma Proving Grounds (YPG), a military testing installation about 25 miles outside the city of Yuma, AZ. Price is not a Department of Defense (DOD) school. We are a public school through Yuma School District One. We work collaboratively with the command and community at YPG to provide a robust academic and social-emotional education for children that live at YPG, those that have parents commuting to work at YPG, and children that live in close proximity to the base.

We are a unique and mighty little school with under 100 students! This allows us to boast small class sizes of only 10 to 15 students on average. We offer a rigorous personalized learning environment balanced with high academic and social-emotional expectations.

Learn about us and our mission to collaborate with you in educating your child. We have included a page to answer frequently asked questions that you may find useful. If your questions aren’t answered there, feel free to contact us. Check out the calendar, and come back often to keep up with the news and events.

A Message from Our Principal

Dear Eagles Families,

I hope this message finds you well and that you are enjoying a wonderful summer. My name is Alexandria Johnson, and I am honored to introduce myself as the new principal of J.D. Price Elementary School. It is a privilege to join a school community that values academic excellence, student growth, and strong family partnerships.

With twelve years of experience in education, as a school counselor and an assistant principal, I bring a deep commitment to creating a safe, nurturing, and inspiring environment for all students. I believe that every child deserves to feel seen, supported, and challenged as they grow both academically and personally.

As we look ahead to the upcoming school year, my priorities are to:

• Foster a warm, inclusive school culture where all students thrive.
• Build strong, transparent communication between school and home.
• Support our dedicated teachers and staff in delivering high-quality instruction.
• Celebrate the unique strengths and talents of each child.

I am excited to meet you and your children and to begin working together to make this school year a successful and memorable one. Please don’t hesitate to reach out to me with questions, ideas, or just to say hello. I am here to support you and your child every step of the way.

With gratitude and enthusiasm,

Alexandria Johnson
