Gilbert Public Schools 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.

Phoenix Union High School District is one of the largest high school districts in the country, with 20 schools, over 28,000 students, and nearly 3,000 employees. Phoenix Union covers 220-square miles of Arizona’s capital city. If the K-8 students in its 13 elementary partner schools were included, it would be among the 25 largest school districts in the United States, with over 110,000 students. The District has 11 comprehensive high schools, four specialty small schools and three alternative schools and two micro schools. Academically, there are over 500 courses to choose from. Rigor continues to be the emphasis, as the District offers more Honors, AP and other high level courses than ever before, and student enrollment in those classes is the highest ever.
