Schools ??? (Goodyear, Page: relocating, work, home)

[hrfd725]

Hello, we are a family of 5 and are relocating to Arizona. I will be working at the Palo Verde Nuclear Plant. We have been looking into renting or buying in Goodyear so I would be close to work. We would like some feed back on the schools in the area. Every time you come to this site there is so much positive and negative posts that Iam confused. The schools right now we are looking at are Desert Thunder and Desert Edge. Our kids our 16, 11, and 7 and there education is very important. My oldest son needs some extra help in school so that is very important as well. Please only post positive remarks because this is our future our kids. If you know of a better area or school system let us know.

Thank You,
Soon to be Arizoni !!

There are lots of people in Estrella Mountain Ranch who work at Palo Verde. They even have APS van pools that take people out there. Best schools in Goodyear are in EMR.

Try this link. Arizona Department of Education Home Page

On the left side you can select "School/District/State Report Cards"
It may be a bit tedious to find the information you are looking for, but thats the only source I could find.

I'm not sure if you found it through the link I posted but here is Desert Thunder 2007 report... http://www.ade.az.gov/srcs/ReportCards/797922007.pdf

and Desert Edge is here... http://www.ade.az.gov/srcs/ReportCards/797992007.pdf

In case you couldnt find it before, from the link I posted to the AZ Dept of Education, On the left side click "School/Dist/AZ Report Cards".

Then click "Find a Report card"

Select "Search by school" and enter the name of the school you want a Report card for.

Then just click "View" under the "School" column.

Hope that Helps!
