When locating to any new area, one of the most important factors for families of school-aged children and teenagers is available education options. Which schools are the highest rated in education? Will this school be a good fit for my child and their learning needs? What is the ratio of students to teachers?
Arizona and the Metro Phoenix area offer many schooling options, including public, charter, private, and homeschooling. With so many options to explore, finding the right fit for your child and family can be quite a task. To help make things easier, we’ve compiled a list of top public schools by area. These lists are based on test scores, academic progress, resident reviews, and rankings from multiple educational resources. (When information is available, we have included number of students enrolled, as well as student to teacher ratio – the Arizona state average is 21) While not definitive in any way, as we realize not every learning experience is for every student, our hope is that these lists will be able to point you in the right direction in choosing a housing locale and school that is right for you.
