Phoenix Private Schools
There are private schools all over the valley, and some have stellar reputations to go with their high costs. There are generally more private elementary schools than private high schools, because of the high cost of building facilities to handle extra-curricular activities for teen-agers.
Here is a list of some of the best Phoenix private schools.
Brophy College Preparatory
Brophy is a Jesuit, Catholic, college preparatory school for boys in downtown Phoenix. With excellent academics and a gentrified past, this school of 1200 boasts average SAT scores well above the national and Arizona norms.
