Want to learn how to make a difference in Arizona education? You are invited to join the team at AFP-Arizona Foundation for dinner on Wednesday, September 27th at 6PM. Our evening will be full of learning and discussion on Arizona's current education battle. Dinner will be provided. Help Arizona get the facts, join our efforts!

Meet other people in our community and dine as we talk about Arizona education. Speakers will give an update on current news, action opportunities and, most importantly, lead a discussion on starting a conversation with anyone about education opportunity. Our best weapon is knowledge of the facts and our ability to communicate to families, neighbors and the communities around us. Come, and bring a friend!

This event will feature Liz Dreckman from Choose A School Arizona, Jason Bedrick from EdChoice, Carlos Alfaro from LIBRE Arizona, and more!

Please join us on Wednesday, September 27 from 6:00 to 8:30 pm at our Phoenix Field Office: 3835 N. 32nd Street, Suite 7, Phoenix, AZ 85018. Did I mention we’ll be providing dinner, free of charge?

Arizona is a leader in school choice and it’s making a difference! Our state’s education system is showing great signs of improvement as our students continue to lead the nation in academic gains. Here is what’s working in the Grand Canyon State:

Arizona has five of the top seven schools in America, according to U.S. News and World Report.

Arizona charter schools are among the best in the nation, according to University of Arkansas Professor Jay Greene

Arizona schools led the nation in academic gains from 2009 to 2015 (despite decreased funding during this period) according to the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP)

Arizona charter schools gained an outstanding 16 and 15 points, respectively, on fourth grade math and reading scores, while Arizona schools overall gained six and three points in each category. Nationwide gains amounted to just one point in each category, according to the NAEP
