Finding the right school for your kiddos depends on a few things (e.g., whether you want to enroll them in a public or private school).<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Let\u2019s say public school is up your alley. If so, there are <a href=\"https:\/\/www.greatschools.org\/arizona\/phoenix\/\">285 public school districts<\/a> in the area, so you have quite a few options. When it comes to private schools, you\u2019ll find that there are 553 to choose from. To narrow down the many choices for schools to <em>the best<\/em> schools in Phoenix, here are some things to think about:\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<ul>\r\n<li>What percentage of seniors graduate each year?<\/li>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<li>How do the math and reading proficiencies compare to the rest of the state?<\/li>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<li>What are the general rankings for classes, teachers, and such?\u00a0<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Now that we\u2019ve covered some of the main questions you\u2019ll need to look into before deciding on a school in Phoenix, let\u2019s talk more about the school systems as a whole.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 id=\"h-how-are-public-schools-in-phoenix\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_are_public_schools_in_Phoenix\"><\/span>How are public schools in Phoenix?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Phoenix schools are found in the top half of public schools in the state. As of the most recent school year, the high-school graduation rate for public schools in Arizona is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.publicschoolreview.com\/graduation-rate-stats\/arizona\">78%<\/a>. The graduation rate in Phoenix varies by year and school, with the last reported graduation rate being <a href=\"https:\/\/www.opendatanetwork.com\/entity\/1600000US0455000\/Phoenix_AZ\/education.graduation_rates.percent_high_school_graduate_or_higher?year=2018\">81.5%<\/a>. (Typically, it sticks around 80%.)<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>The math proficiency in the Phoenix public school system is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.publicschoolreview.com\/arizona\/phoenix\">41%<\/a>, which is just below the state average (45%). As for reading, roughly 42% of public school students are proficient, again just below the state average (also 45%).\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>If you\u2019re strongly considering a relocation to Phoenix, there are a plethora of good potential schools for kids of all ages. It\u2019s always helpful to check out the schools in your target part of the city or suburb so that you can get a better idea of what is available there before signing any dotted lines. That\u2019s because you\u2019re a little more limited in schools if you go the public school route since your options are usually determined by your physical location in the city.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-dominant-color=\"7e818b\" data-has-transparency=\"false\" style=\"--dominant-color: #7e818b;\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"597\" class=\"not-transparent wp-image-22578 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" alt=\"Students huddled around a laptop\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.bellhopblog.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/unnamed-1024x597.webp\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bellhopblog.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/unnamed-1024x597.webp 1024w, https:\/\/www.bellhopblog.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/unnamed-300x175.webp 300w, https:\/\/www.bellhopblog.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/unnamed-768x448.webp 768w, https:\/\/www.bellhopblog.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/unnamed.jpg 1200w\"><\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3 id=\"h-top-rated-public-schools-in-phoenix\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Top-rated_public_schools_in_Phoenix\"><\/span>Top-rated public schools in Phoenix<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>These are a handful of Phoenix\u2019s best public schools:\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Best Elementary Schools in Phoenix, Arizona:<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<ul>\r\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/enrollbasis.com\/mesa\/\">BASIS Mesa<\/a><\/li>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/khalsamontessori.org\">Khalsa Montessori Elementary School<\/a>\u00a0<\/li>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/enrollbasis.com\/chandler-primary-north\/\">BASIS Chandler Primary \u2013 North Campus<\/a><\/li>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/selfdevelopmentacademy.com\">Self Development Academy<\/a><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Best Middle Schools in Phoenix, Arizona:<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<ul>\r\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/enrollbasis.com\/phoenix\/\">BASIS Phoenix<\/a><\/li>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/enrollbasis.com\/mesa\/\">BASIS Mesa<\/a><\/li>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/enrollbasis.com\/chandler\/\">BASIS Chandler<\/a><\/li>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/enrollbasis.com\/scottsdale\/\">BASIS Scottsdale<\/a><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Best High Schools in Phoenix, Arizona:<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<ul>\r\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/enrollbasis.com\/phoenix\/\">BASIS Phoenix<\/a><\/li>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/madisonhighlandprep.com\">Madison Highland Prep<\/a><\/li>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pxu.org\/bioscience\">Bioscience High School<\/a><\/li>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/enrollbasis.com\/ahwatukee\/\">BASIS Ahwatukee<\/a><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_private_schools_are_in_Phoenix\"><\/span>What private schools are in Phoenix?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>As mentioned above, Phoenix offers hundreds of private schools ranging from elementary to high school.

They also help students prepare for college as much as possible and encourage them to challenge themselves.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Why are suburban schools in Phoenix so great? On top of the reasons mentioned above, suburban schools generally have smaller class sizes, which means that students get more one-on-one attention and a wonderful learning experience.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>One of the best Phoenix suburbs for schools is Paradise Valley. Of this city, a resident says, \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.niche.com\/places-to-live\/paradise-valley-maricopa-az\/reviews\/\">My husband and I love where we live in Paradise Valley. Great schools , community, very family friendly.\u201d She also goes on to add, \u201cUber rides can be taken central location not much to walk to aside from restaurants around PV Mall.<\/a>\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_suburbs_have_particularly_good_school_systems\"><\/span>What suburbs have particularly good school systems?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>When it comes to the best suburbs for schools in Phoenix, AZ, you can\u2019t go wrong with Sun Lakes, Gilbert, or Chandler. These three suburbs have top-rated schools and amenities for families that make them some of the best places to live in the city of Phoenix.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>We\u2019ll kick things off with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.niche.com\/places-to-live\/sun-lakes-maricopa-az\/\"><strong>Sun Lakes<\/strong><\/a>. According to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.trulia.com\/n\/az\/chandler\/sun-lakes\/106583\/\">current residents<\/a>, this city offers many places to walk your dogs, upscale landscaping, and a quiet and family-friendly atmosphere. It\u2019s also not hard to find parking, which is a huge plus for those commuting to work. The public schools also get an A+.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Moving onto <a href=\"https:\/\/www.niche.com\/places-to-live\/gilbert-maricopa-az\/\"><strong>Gilbert<\/strong><\/a>, this is another top-rated suburb, which is considered the leading suburb to raise kids in throughout Phoenix. Nicknamed the \u201cHay Shipping Capital of the World,\u201d this city is known for growing quickly and being the country\u2019s biggest town. It also offers A-rated public schools, giving you confidence that your kids will have a good place to attend if you choose to move there.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Third up is <strong>Chandler<\/strong>. Reports call it Phoenix\u2019s best suburb to call home, and it helps that the city has both A+ public schools and is known for having plenty of activities for kids. One resident says, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.niche.com\/places-to-live\/chandler-maricopa-az\/\">\u201c[There is] lots to do. Water parks, desert breeze park, the zoo, botanical gardens. There was mountainous hiking not too far away, 3D glow in the dark mini golf, ice rink, skating rinks, etc.<\/a>\u201d When you combine that with good schools, Chandler sounds like a great place to live!<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_are_the_best_school_districts_in_Phoenix\"><\/span>What are the best school districts in Phoenix?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Here are a few of the top school districts in the Phoenix area:\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Chandler_Unified_School_District_No_80\"><\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cusd80.com\">Chandler Unified School District No. 80<\/a><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>What\u2019s the city\u2019s best school district overall?
