Phoenix School Districts & Open Enrollment Guide
How Arizona's public school open enrollment, top districts (Gilbert, Chandler, Peoria), and charter school networks (BASIS, Great Hearts) function.
Understanding Arizona Open Enrollment
In Arizona, you are not strictly limited to the neighborhood school your address is zoned for. Under state open-enrollment statutes, families can apply to any public school in any district free of charge, subject to classroom capacity. Applications typically open in December and January for the following school year.
Top Charter School Options
The Valley is home to premier classical liberal arts and STEM charter networks. Great Hearts Academies operates campuses across Gilbert, Chandler, and Buckeye (Archway/Trivium), while BASIS campuses consistently rank among the top high schools in US News & World Report.
