District Overview
The Chandler Unified School District is
located in the Southeastern part of the
Phoenix metropolitan area. Chandler Unified
serves 20,000 students in grades K-12 and
encompasses 80 square miles, though not all
of the City of Chandler.
Reading, language and mathematics are
at the core of students' education. The district
has specific expectations for students in these
three basic areas. Academic achievement is a
high priority in the district as evidenced by
test scores above the state and national
averages. Our students consistently score
among the top in the state on college-entrance
exam.
There is a Special Education Program that is specially designed instruction to meet the unique needs of a
student with a disability. Services will be made available to meet the needs of all students
with disabilities within the responsibility of the district who have been determined to be
eligible and need special education and related services in order to benefit from their
educational program.
Because of the outstanding educational
programs offered, almost all of the district
schools have been cited for excellence by
outside organizations, including the Arizona
Department of Education and the U.S.
Department of Education.
We are on the verge of completing a
major infusion of technology, which will make
our schools some of the most advanced in the
country. Voters approved the $5 million
project in a bond election, an example of the
tremendous community support that benefit
our students.
Initially nourished by a strong agricultural
economy, Chandler now is booming with a
wide range or business, including high-tech
industries. We have formed unique
partnerships with local businesses. The Intel
Corporation, for example, contributed more
than $1.5 million in products and services
during a 12-month span.
Due to a booming city population and
open enrollment laws, Chandler Unified is one
of the fastest-growing districts in the state.
The district has opened seven schools in the
1990s and now consists of 16 elementary,
three junior highs and two high schools.
