What can you tell me about the school system in Arizona?
I am going to college in Kansas near Kansas City, and I have my heart set to move to Scottsdale, Arizona, around the Phoenix area. My cousin lives there, and I love it! I've heard that the curriculum in Arizona (in grade, middle, and high schools) isn't that good, especially compared to Kansas and other midwestern states. But, I've also heard that the schools are improving. Can you tell me anything about that? I am looking in to teaching history at a high school level.

Good luck to you. The schools in Arizona are underfunded, pay teachers poorly, and class sizes are large. There is a lawsuit regarding the poor response to standardized tests; here is a quote: In the lawsuit, Plaintiffs allege that the state’s school funding system is arbitrary and not based on educational need. Plaintiffs allege Arizona ranks near the bottom in most national educational rankings; Arizona is next to last in school funding; Arizona ranks fourth from the bottom in teacher/student ratio; Arizona class sizes are above the national average; and Arizona’s dropout rate is high. http://www.lawhelp.org/Program/729/RTF1.cfm?pagename=Challenge+to+AIMS+Test+ The first year that the standardized tests were required was 2006, not much improvement has been made since then. Hope this helps

Your best bet is to go to each school's web site to make comparisons on what features you are looking for in a school. But, you shoudl also include your parents on the decision on what school you want to enroll in. If you want to academically compare one school against the other, you can go to the state Dept. of Ed. page to see how each school ranks against the other: www.ade.state.az.us Best of luck to you.

Mountain Trails. I went there last year and it was a good school academic wise and teacher wise.

Your best bet is to get the newspaper and see what's out there! The other person that talked about Shellcash is correct in that it's a scam along with all those other work from home offers so don't fall for them!!!!!! I don't believe she is correct about the person who owns it, Francis Nwajei. I did a google search & went to the FBI site and put his name in and it came back with nothing. So don't believe what people write on here until you check it out yourself! Good Luck!!!!!!!

Call the school. Ask for a list. Schools differ on what they need.
2
this is not the appropriate place to ask - there are hundreds of thousands of schools in the US, and millions worldwide- finding the dozen or so people online who have that list is ridiculous. Call the school.
3
Most stores like Walmart and Target will have copies of supplies lists for each school district or even sometimes each school in the area, or you can call the school.

Is it Possible to go to School in Austin or Phoenix without a Car?
Is it Possible to go to School in Austin or Phoenix without a Car?
I'm not going to be able to take my car with me when I transfer out of state from Richmond,Virginia. I am looking at schools out of state and would like to work, live and go to school in either downtown Phoenix, Arizona or Austin, Texas. Is it possible to live without a car in either cities and still have a fun life. A lot of college students here in Richmond don't have cars so they have to make friends with people with cars, and/or only work,play and live downtown. Also in Richmond there are lots of jobs, and leisure activities downtown and we are a city of only over 200,000. So, aren't I right in assuming downtown Austin and Phoenix will have even more opportunities for young non-drivers? * I will be living on campus only for a while as well.

yes actually! I went to school in Austin for a few years without a car and had no problems. Now I live in Tempe (right next to Phoenix) and still have no car and I do fine. Sometimes it's a hassle trying to deal with the busses, but it's not too bad. I'd say in Austin it's probably easier and more reliable to use public transportation than in Phoenix though. Austin is also more college student friendly, downtown Phoenix is kinda sketchy.
