Balsz Elementary School Competitors

Mesa Public Schools is the largest school district in Arizona, serving students in preschool through 12th grade. Committed to unprecedented excellence in education, we focus on developing a highly educated and productive community, one student at a time. Learning opportunities include Montessori, International Baccalaureate, dual-language immersion, Franklin traditional schools and award-winning neighborhood schools.

Reading, language and mathematics are at the core of students' education. The district has specific expectations for students in these three basic areas. Academic achievement is a high priority in the district as evidenced by test scores above the state and national averages. Our students consistently score among the top in the state on college-entrance exams. The Chandler Unified School District is located in the Southeastern part of the Phoenix metropolitan area. Chandler Unified serves more than 44,500 students in grades K-12 and encompasses 80 square miles including Chandler, Queen Creek and Gilbert. Chandler Unified is one of the fastest-growing districts in the state. The district consists of 31 elementary, ten middle school programs, six high schools and three alternative schools.

Every student has a different dream for their future—their potential as wide open as their possibilities. With every dream, there’s a path waiting to be taken, discoveries to be made and abilities to be realized. And that’s where we come in: to inspire, to guide, to challenge and to nurture.
