Phoenix Schools Embrace School Choice as a Necessity
Neighborhood schools are becoming obsolete. With the rise of school rankings, grades, and the No Child Left Behind Act, simply sending children to the local school is no longer the norm.
In Phoenix, parents have the flexibility to choose almost any school in the Phoenix Public Schools district. While some still prefer their neighborhood schools, many parents opt for specialty schools that align with their children's interests and educational preferences.
Phoenix Schools have responded to this demand by offering a variety of Magnet Schools, known as Signature Schools, providing diverse options tailored to student needs and interests.
However, there are challenges. Sending children to schools farther from home can inconvenience families, requiring coordination for social activities and increased travel time. Parents must weigh the benefits against these logistical considerations.
Magnet Program Options:
- Montessori: Catering to PreK-8th grade, this program follows the internationally acclaimed Montessori curriculum.
- Performing Arts: Available for 7th and 8th graders, with opportunities in drama, dance, choir, and music. Younger students also get exposure in these areas.
- Math, Science & Technology: Focused on 7th and 8th graders, this program also benefits younger students at specialized science campuses.
- Traditional & Balance the Basics: Emphasizes reading, math, and writing for PreK-8th grade students.
- Global Community or Donde Vivo: 7th and 8th graders explore global communities through an interdisciplinary curriculum, including travel abroad.
- Second Language Acquisition: At Herrera School, students from kindergarten to sixth grade are immersed in both Spanish and English.
- Science Investigations: 7th and 8th graders delve into physical and life sciences, with after-school clubs supported by mentors from Arizona State University.
Despite the appeal, Magnet Schools face criticisms. Many are located in less desirable areas, intended to attract affluent and educated families. However, these schools might just be the right fit for your child.
Phoenix Schools continue to adapt to the evolving educational landscape, offering choices that aim to benefit students and meet diverse family needs.
