Mesa, Arizona — part of the Phoenix metropolitan area — is the state’s third-largest city, known for its family-friendly communities, desert scenery, and ties to astronaut Steven R. Swanson. Mesa Public Schools, Arizona’s largest district, serves over 55,000 students across 80+ campuses. Elementary proficiency rates average around 40% in reading and 35% in math, reflecting steady but modest performance.
Top schools like Franklin Elementary report over 70% proficiency in both areas, setting a high bar. The district’s graduation rate stands at approximately 85%, supported by career and technical education, dual-language immersion, and arts integration. Mesa continues to face challenges in addressing socioeconomic disparities, but its focus on innovation, equity, and whole-child development positions it for lasting educational improvement.
