2020 Most Diverse Public Middle Schools in the Phoenix AreaAbout this List

Paragon Science Academy

• Public School
• Chandler, AZ
• K-12
• 23 reviews

Senior: Paragon Science Academy is a very nice school to be enrolled in. The teachers are helpful and caring, the school is diverse, and the environment is relaxing. The only problem for me was that they didn't offer a lot of online classes and that we had to take some classes that we don't really need. Also there aren't that many clubs or sport activities. Other then that, I would recommend parents to take there kids to Paragon!

Alum: Overall, I enjoyed my time at Kyrene Middle School. I was in the Prep Program, the honors program within the school. I had great teachers, learned a lot, and was close with my classmates. I was involved in cross country and track & field all 3 years I attended, and that was a great experience as well.

• 1 review

Alum: When I went to this school it was still brand new, so I'm sure that they've improved quite a bit since I attended. The teachers were nice, I felt that I learned a lot there, and it was a very active and engaging school. If I could see one thing change, it would be their variety in clubs.

Vista Del Sur Accelerated School

• Laveen Elementary School District, AZ
• PK, K-8
• 2 reviews

Parent: Enrollment begins VERY early for Vista (early to mid January for an August start) and students are tested/evaluated before consideration. Parents are required to volunteer a minimum of 7 hours per school year. The teachers and staff are extremely accessible and organised, and we are happy to be a part of a school that genuinely cares about student's success.

Basis Goodyear

• Public School
• Goodyear, AZ
• 5-10
• 2 reviews

Senior: I really like how Basis Goodyear prepares all its students for college extremely well with rigorous courses and many college credits. Basis Goodyear offers AP courses as well as tests, which can also transfer into college credits. Something I would like to see improved at this school is the sports and clubs. The school is very focused on academics, and sometimes students find it lacking in social events.

Parent: These teachers really do WOW me. I haven't met one yet who hasn't gone out of their way to help my kid excel. In Jr High it can seem difficult to keep up with that many students, but that hasn't stopped these teachers from making every effort to help in any way. Great staff.

High School Junior: I have been at this school since my kindergarten year, so I have been through its ups and downs. I know the teachers that have come and gone and srudents as well. The principal knows me well because it is a small school. In addition, the lunch director is very nice and knows at least 95% of the students names.

High School Junior: Great school. I really enjoy playing football and basketball for this school and I really enjoy learning new things everyday. We are very supportive and respectful of each other and the special needs program. I would do it over again because you don't meet people that are caring and are willing to encourage you.
