About The Grande Innovation

The Grande Innovation School in Casa Grande, Arizona, is part of a growing network of charter schools that focus on creativity, technology, and learning in the 21st century. It serves students in grades K–8. State education data shows that about 26% of students are good at maths, which is a little less than the Arizona state average of 34%. The school keeps the student-teacher ratio at about 22:1, which makes sure that each student gets the attention they need while also promoting group learning. Casa Grande Union High School is known for its sports programs and famous alumni like Jonny Gomes, a former Major League Baseball player and World Series champion, and Josh Akognon, an international basketball player. Families thinking about moving to the Casa Grande area will find that housing is cheaper than in nearby Phoenix. Depending on where you live and what amenities are available, the average rent for a three-bedroom home is between $1,700 and $2,000 a month. In comparison, Casa Grande Middle School, which is close by, says that about 31% of its students are good at maths. Desert Willow Elementary does a little better, with 38% of its students being good at maths.
