My son had never been to school before he entered Kindergarten this year. He is now excelling and even teaches his 4 year old sister about Core Values. This a fabulous school and we can't wait for her to go.

What makes PTS different? This was our question prior to enrolling this year. The uniforms, Core Values, and parent involvement are all factors but since being at PTS would have to say it is also majority the atmosphere. Kids will be kids and do silly things that kids do, but there is NO bullying, foul language or disrespect in the classrooms. When you walk in the hallways and see the middle school students the girls are not wearing make up, distracting hair colors or inappropriate clothing. You never see boy/girl holding hands or anything of the like. PUSD provides a solid education for all their schools but,by far, PTS is a winner for the district. This should be the model for all schools.

Kindergarten Registration for the Peoria Traditional School begins this Monday, February 25th. Applications will be time stamped and processed on a first come, first served basis. Space is very limited. No camping out on the school grounds. We welcome the graduating class of 2025. Experience the Peoria Tradition.

Wonderful school - love that it goes through 8th grade next year and the small school environment. Our children feel very comfortable and safe. Nice to see students not wearing inappropriate clothing like most public school.

A school of CHOICE. All of the families choose PTS as their childrens school, it is not a zoned school, it is a school of choice. The growth from the first school year starting with 57 students to the second year of over 220 students (K-7th) is exciting. Solid curriculum and Core Values that are lessons to students. PTS is not only educating, but they are teaching students to be compassionate, kind, respectful children. The communication from our teachers, administration and booster club is wonderful. The parent involvement is the highest I have seen at a school.

When your child comes home from school and says, "I love school", you know you've found a winner! The principal knows and interacts with all the children. The teachers are all united and work to make sure the parents know what's going on. The high involvement from the parents also makes this a great environment. I know of no other school that teaches great values as well as school curriculum. I have students ranging from kindergarten to 7th grade and they all love it here.

Our family found the best school in the area. Our children enjoy going to school and love the "school family" environment. We are glad to be part of the school and see why it is growing at such a rapid rate. School actually goes through 7th grade this year and will go through 8th grade next school year.

Thank you PUSD for providing a private/charter type school through the public school district. Principal is very involved with the students, teachers are excellent and heavy parent participation. Love the Core Values that are taught. No need to look for charter/private school where you will have book fees, etc.

This is the most wonderful school in the northwest valley. My child has never been happier to go to school everyday. I can't believe that this is a public school. It has a real private school feel to it and the students love it.

About the tests


In 2011-2012 Arizona used the Arizona Instrument to Measure Standards (AIMS) to test students in reading and mathematics in grades 3 through 8 and 10, writing in grades 5, 6, 7, and 10, and in science in grades 4, 8 and 10. AIMS is a standards-based test, which means that it measures how well students have mastered Arizona learning standards. Students must pass the grade 10 AIMS in order to graduate. The goal is for all students to meet or exceed state standards on the test.
