There are a number of reasons that homes all across the City of Phoenix are so highly sought after by families. Here’s one: excellent schools. Chances are, if you’re looking to buy a home, land, condo or other residential Phoenix real estate, you’re already interested in checking out the local school district. While there are many exceptional private and charter schools, numerous Phoenix public schools are also highly rated by the Arizona Department of Education.
Details: The City of Phoenix is home 325 public schools in 30 school districts along with more than 200 charter and private schools. By visiting the City’s Youth and Education Programs Office website you will find information on school locations, district boundaries and attendance boundaries, as well as frequently requested maps. In fact, a complete listing of the public, private, and charter schools in Phoenix is available at Phoenix Maps Online. This feature also includes a mapping application and links to the individual school Web sites. To obtain detailed information about school districts or their educational programs, please visit the particular school district’s website or contact the school directly.
One important note is that even if your Phoenix home, condo or townhome is outside a district’s boundaries, per Arizona state law, you still have the opportunity to enroll your child in your public school of choice through the Open Enrollment process. Open Enrollment packets are usually available at any local school site or on the district’s website and there is a specified enrollment period, generally in the fall preceding the following school year. There are a limited number of schools that do not accept Open Enrollment students because those schools, or perhaps specific programs requested, are at full capacity. Please call the school or school district in which you are interested to check Open Enrollment availability.
