The A+ School of Excellence Award is given by Arizona Educational Foundation. The award program has been in existence since 1983. It is the highest state-level honor an Arizona public school may receive. A+ School of Excellence is also the only statewide school award program that identifies and recognizes schools for achieving overall excellence based on school performance, exceptional method, master teachers serving the whole child, and creating a community of collaboration and unparalleled success. EDUPRIZE can be proud of its exceptional students, staff, parents, community partners, programs and practices. Our school serves as a model and a beacon of success to schools throughout Arizona and the nation.
The EDUPRIZE mission is to provide educational excellence to our community of learners through the use of project-based, multiple modality instruction, and a strong differentiated curriculum. This means that no children fall between the cracks. Gifted students are provided a rigorous education and every child is instructed at their level. Our academic growth per year is unmatched. Through the years we have continued to be acknowledged as the “High Flyer” school in Arizona. This means even our lowest 25% grow proportionately more at EDUPRIZE.
Our number one priority is the whole CHILD. We don’t just talk it- we walk it. We do everything within our power to help every child achieve academic success and their full potential.
