Questions about public schools in Phoenix
How many public schools are in Phoenix, AZ?
The current NCES directory lists 432 open public schools with a location address in Phoenix: 240 elementary, 42 middle, 108 high, 42 combined or other. Together they reported 212,747 students in 2024–25. The count includes charter, alternative, and special-purpose public schools; it excludes private schools.

Schools with an address in Phoenix belong to 157 education agencies, led by Paradise Valley Unified District (4241) (31 schools), Washington Elementary School District (4260) (29 schools), Cartwright Elementary District (4282) (23 schools). A mailing city is not an attendance boundary; confirm the district for a specific address.
What is the largest public high school in Phoenix?
Trevor Browne High School reported the largest high-school enrollment in Phoenix, with 2,850 students in 2024–25 (grades 09–12). Size is a description of the campus, not a quality measure.
Are there charter schools in Phoenix?
Yes. 146 of the 432 public schools in Phoenix are identified as charter schools in the NCES directory, including AAEC - Paradise Valley, AAEC - SMCC Campus, Academy of Math and Science Avondale. Charter schools are public and tuition-free, but admission usually uses an application or lottery.
What is the typical student–teacher ratio in Phoenix schools?
The median reported student–teacher ratio across Phoenix public schools is 17.3:1, similar to the Arizona school median of 16.7:1. The ratio divides enrollment by classroom-teacher FTE; it is not an average class size.
Does living in Phoenix guarantee a seat at a specific school?
No. Assignment depends on the district's attendance boundaries, programs, and enrollment rules, which can split a city or cross city lines. Use the district profile and its official boundary or school-locator tool to confirm the assigned school for an exact address.
