Sharing a sprawling campus with Kyrene de las Brisas, its sister elementary school, Kyrene Aprende Middle School sits in the heart of its community, across from scenic Desert Breeze Park in West Chandler. With a mission to “empower all students as 21st century learners,” this A+ School of Excellence serves students in grades six to eight as part of the Kyrene School District. Often ranking among the top middle schools in Arizona, Kyrene Aprende earns test scores in reading and math well above the state average. To achieve this distinction, the school offers Advancement Via Individual Determination (AVID) — a college-prep approach to learning that focuses on writing, asking questions and collaborating, as well as study skills and organization. To encourage better social skills and more positive peer relationships, AVID incorporates the Socratic method, whereby college students, adults or peers give tutorials twice a week to facilitate discussion, not debate. Plus, students enjoy more immersive learning through field trips and guest-speaker seminars. To help students thrive as teams. Kyrene Aprende hosts a robust athletics program that offers soccer, volleyball, cross country, basketball, softball, baseball, cheer, wrestling, and track and field. Plus, students can participate in numerous extracurricular clubs and activities, ranging from engineering and National Junior Honors Society to yearbook and student council.

GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

This school is great, if your child is willing to fall in lock step and can’t think outside of the box. Most of the teachers here are just “phoning it in” as another reviewer stated. Some are clearly unqualified to be teachers, the STEM teacher is a prime example. Bullying is a much bigger problem t...

This school is awful. The students are much more disrespectful to adults than at other schools I've been too. Stubborn, distracted kids. The cliques run rampant, as does the drama. I know many of these problems persist in other schools, but believe me- this one takes the cake for BS
