When families search for an A+ charter school in Arizona, they are looking for more than strong academics. They are looking for proven excellence, consistency, safety, leadership, and results that stand the test of time. EDUPRIZE Charter Schools has earned the prestigious A+ School of Excellence designation six times — in 2007, 2010, 2013, 2017, 2020, and most recently in 2026 — making EDUPRIZE the most awarded charter school in Arizona and the only charter school to receive the A+ designation in 2026.
That kind of recognition does not happen by accident. It reflects a culture of high standards, strong leadership, certified teachers, and a commitment to students and families.
What Does an A+ Rating Mean?
The A+ School of Excellence Award is one of the most respected recognitions a school can receive in Arizona. It evaluates academics, leadership, curriculum quality, fiscal responsibility, student growth, and community involvement.
For families, it means:
• Strong academic performance
• Stable leadership
• Responsible financial stewardship
• A safe and supportive campus environment
• A proven track record of excellence
When a school earns this award once, it is impressive. When a school earns it six times across nearly two decades, it demonstrates sustained excellence and long-term commitment.
Why EDUPRIZE Stands Apart
EDUPRIZE is not just another charter school. It is the longest-running A+ charter school in Arizona. That longevity matters. It means families are not taking a risk on a new or untested model. They are choosing a school with deep roots, established systems, and a clear vision.
Both the Gilbert and Queen Creek campuses operate under the same high standards that earned the A+ designation. Students benefit from:
• Small class sizes
• Certified teachers
• A safe, structured learning environment
• Hands-on curriculum
• Live Learning Labs
• STEM-focused instruction
• School-wide THRIVE values
The THRIVE model — Trust, Heart, Respect, Inquiry, Value, Excellence — shapes the culture across campuses. Academic growth and character development go hand in hand.
Academic Excellence with a Personal Touch
Families consistently choose EDUPRIZE because it combines academic rigor with individualized attention. Teachers know their students. Administrators are visible. Parents are involved.
The result is a school culture where students feel supported and challenged at the same time.
At EDUPRIZE, excellence is not a marketing slogan. It is built into the daily classroom experience. From early literacy in Pre-K and Kindergarten to advanced STEM exploration and gifted programming, students are encouraged to grow, question, and achieve.
The Only Charter to Win in 2026
Receiving the A+ designation again in 2026 is particularly meaningful. It reinforces that EDUPRIZE continues to lead the way among Arizona charter schools. Educational trends change. Standards evolve. Expectations increase. EDUPRIZE has adapted and strengthened while maintaining its core values.
For families evaluating charter schools in Gilbert or Queen Creek, this award provides third-party validation that EDUPRIZE delivers on its promises.
Choosing Confidence
Selecting a school is one of the most important decisions a parent makes. An A+ rating gives families confidence. Six A+ awards provide long-term proof.
If you are looking for:
• An A+ rated charter school in Arizona
• A safe and structured campus
• Certified teachers
• Strong academics and character education
• A community built on THRIVE values
EDUPRIZE stands ready to serve your family.
Enrollment is open, and spaces are limited as more families discover the strength and stability of Arizona’s most awarded charter school.
