The
quality of the schools your kids will attend should be the most
significant factor in deciding where to live. I'm happy just to help
you learn! I've collected just about everything you want to know about the schools
in Maricopa County right here on this and other linked pages. The Greater Phoenix area
comprises almost all of Maricopa County, but I work best in other North Maricopa County
cities.
Arizona ranks all schools in 5 categories, "Excelling," Highly
Performing," "Performing Plus," "Performing," and "Underperforming."
We are fortunate to have many of the Excelling and Highly Performing
schools in North Scottsdale, Cave Creek, Northeast Phoenix,
Chandler, Mesa, Gilbert and other important Maricopa school
districts performed
especially well, with a vast majority of their schools in the top
ranks. Kyrene, Glendale, Mesa school districts also had many
"Excelling" and "Highly Performing" schools.

In 2008 the Arizona Department of Education decided to "improve" their Report Cards for all school districts and all schools in Arizona. They apparently haven't finished. So you can try Report Cards for all schools to see if they've finished. Search for the school you want. You may get an "error message from website." Simply click the X in the right hand corner to close and ignore it. You should find your way to a "Report Card" page for that school. Then, because the system misbehaves, that page may lack some information. If you persist, you'll find a useful Report Card if you click on "PDF Report Card" that will tell you, simply, if the school is Excelling, Highly Performing or whatever. You can also see the "Great Schools" report cards and basic demographic information for any school district in Arizona. Particularly look at "Most Recent Test Scores" and "Student Stats." But wait! There's more! I've sold homes in "My Town" for 19 years and I consult with people moving to the "North Valley" area on a daily basis. It's my job to know, and my job to tell you things about the schools that no report generated by a computer will ever know. I am not a "high volume" agent. I limit my work to guarantee exceptional personal service. Please call me at 480-980-7475 or write to me at helenfeet@cox.net for a first-hand experience of the local schools. What ages are your children? I'll tell you what choices you should consider for schools anywhere in the County. It's my job to help! There's no obligation, and I promise to get back to you quickly.. |
