Chandler, Catalina Foothills and Amphitheater have been identified the top three school districts in Arizona, respectively, based on data from 2015 Niche rankings.

Niche annually ranks more than 100,000 public and private schools and districts based on “dozen of key statistics” and opinions from parents and students.

While Arizona failed to register any entries in the top 100 school districts in the country, Niche gave a hierarchy of the top 89 districts in the Grand Canyon State.

A high ranking indicates that the district contains great schools with exceptional teachers, sufficient resources, and a diverse set of high-achieving students who rate their experiences very highly.

The Chandler Unified School district registered a score of 3.9 (out of 5) on Niche’s site based on user reviews.

The top 10 school districts, according to Niche, are listed below in reverse order:

10. Tanque Verde Unified School District

9. Peoria Unified School District

8. Scottsdale Unified School District

7. Flowing Wells (Tucson) Unified School District

6. Gilbert Unified School District

5. Tempe Union High School District

4. Vail (Tucson) Unified School District

3. Amphitheater (Oro Valley) Unified School District

2. Catalina Foothills Unified School District
