There’s a buzz of excitement at Wildfire Elementary School, and it has everything to do with our incredible students and dedicated staff! This year, we not only received an A rating by the Arizona Department of Education, but we were named a top-rated elementary school in the entire state by U.S. News & World Report! These accolades are a true reflection of the exceptional learning environment we cultivate here at Wildfire.

Learning Adventures Beyond the Classroom
Learning at Wildfire extends far beyond the classroom walls. Our students embark on enriching field trips and participate in engaging in-school events that bring classroom concepts to life. From exploring museums and historical sites to visiting nature centers, farms, and even learning and experiencing the physics of an amusement park, these immersive experiences spark imaginations, solidify knowledge, and create lasting memories.
