< Continued from page 2

There are more than 500 charter schools in the Greater Phoenix area. On this page you will find more than 240 charter schools in Maricopa and Pinal Counties that received either an excellent or an above average rating. Charter schools are not necessarily for kids that can't make it in regular public schools; typically they have a special focus or curriculum. They are still accountable to the Arizona Department of Education.


 

I included Pinal County here because many Pinal County residents work and play in Maricopa County; they are very close. In addition, the actual definition of "Greater Phoenix" -- at least as defined by the U.S. Census -- includes both Maricopa and Pinal Counties.

A rated schools: excellent level of performance. 
B rated schools: above average level of performance. 
C rated schools:  average level of performance.
D rated schools:  below average level of performance. 
F rated schools are those that score a D for three consecutive years.

Use the School Name, below, at the Arizona Department of Education website to see the address with city and zip code of the school and the number of students enrolled. You can also see the students performed on standardized tests, the attendance rate, graduation rate, and drop-out rate.
