Eduprize School Gilbert, Gilbert AZ

Original Research by School Decision on Eduprize School Gilbert

EDUPRIZE SCHOOL Gilbert is a charter school serving kindergarten through twelfth grade in the town of Gilbert, a large, fast-growing suburb southeast of Phoenix. Gilbert was once an agricultural hub known as the Hay Shipping Capital of the World, but over recent decades it has transformed into a sprawling master-planned community of single-family subdivisions, wide arterial roads, and retail corridors. The Heritage District along Gilbert Road offers a small downtown with restaurants and murals, but the overall texture is car-dependent suburban. Home values in the area are above the national and state medians, reflecting the desirability of the Phoenix metro’s east side. The school itself is part of the Eduprize Schools LLC charter network, which operates as its own district.

The school is medium-sized for a K-12 setting, with enrollment spread across all grade levels. The elementary and middle grades each draw from several sections, while the high school grades are noticeably smaller, particularly in the upper years. That smaller high school enrollment means the school does not have a published four-year graduation rate in the available data, and a parent considering the upper grades may want to ask the school directly about its cohort completion outcomes and what postsecondary pathways students typically pursue. Similarly, data on chronic absenteeism and economic disadvantage (free or reduced-price lunch) were not reported, so a family looking for that context will need to gather it from the school or from other sources.

On state assessments, EDUPRIZE SCHOOL Gilbert’s overall proficiency across tested subjects and grades places it above the midpoint among all districts in Maricopa County. That is a solid indicator relative to the large and diverse county. Looking grade by grade, math proficiency in the early elementary years is at a level where a majority of students meet the bar, though the share dips in middle school before recovering somewhat in eighth grade. English language arts follows a similar pattern: the strongest results appear in grades four through six, with more than half of students scoring proficient, while grades three, seven, and eight sit a little lower but still near or just above half. Science results are available for grades five and eight. At grade five, half of students were proficient; at grade eight, the share was lower. A parent whose child needs stronger support in science or math in the junior high years may want to look into what interventions or enrichment are available.

Demographically, the student body is majority white, with a substantial Hispanic population and smaller shares of students who identify as Asian, Black, American Indian or Alaska Native, and two or more races. The school is a regular public charter school, which means it is publicly funded but operates independently from the local traditional school districts (Gilbert Public Schools and Higley Unified School District). Families choose to enroll here rather than their zoned district school. No information on special education or English learner populations was available in the data provided.

No recent major changes at the district level came up in the search, so the school appears to be operating without a recent referendum, boundary overhaul, or curriculum pivot.

For a family in Gilbert or the surrounding area, EDUPRIZE SCHOOL Gilbert offers a K-12 progression with stronger-than-county-median test results overall, though performance varies by subject and grade. The small high school could mean more individualized attention but also fewer course offerings than a large comprehensive high school. A parent considering this school should confirm the availability of advanced coursework, career and technical programs, and support services, especially if they have a student entering the upper grades where data is thin.

Graduation rate (ACGR) reflects the federally published Adjusted Cohort Graduation Rate for the most recent year available. We refresh this data annually at the close of each academic year in June. The federal source publishes a banded rate (for example, "90-94%") instead of an exact number for cohorts small enough to risk identifying individual students. The state distribution chart, where shown, plots every school in the state with a published rate or band; schools whose rate is federally suppressed are excluded. Where the federal source publishes a band rather than an exact rate, the school is placed within its band using a stable, ID-derived offset, so its position is consistent across visits.
