Private & church schools in Pinal County: Casa Grande, Maricopa & Florence
South of the Gila River Indian Community, the city of Maricopa, Casa Grande, Florence, Arizona City and the copper towns have few private campuses. The city of Maricopa ranks among the fastest-growing ESA markets, which means many families here use the account for microschools, online programs and home education rather than a traditional school. We list 13 private schools here, and 11 of them are on at least one STO school list.
By type: Christian Schools (7) · Independent Schools (3) · Catholic Schools (2) · Private High Schools (1) · Jewish & Islamic Schools (1).
