Summary

Great Hearts Academies - Anthem Prep is an alternative school in Phoenix serving kindergarten through grade 12, with 1,031 students. In 2025–2026, 67% of students were proficient in English language arts (ELA) and 61% in math, compared with state rates of 41% and 33%; the reported results for the Anthem Preparatory Academy district were identical. The clearest standout is math: Anthem Prep’s proficiency rate was 28 points above the state rate.

Among the nearby schools with reported all-grades results, Anthem Prep led in both subjects: its math result was 12 points above the highest reported peer result, and its ELA result was 3 points higher. But performance varies by grade: middle-school math is a relative weak spot, with 46% proficient in seventh grade, versus 80% in 11th grade; every reported grade still exceeded its state result. In same-grade comparisons, Anthem Prep’s 11th-grade ELA and math results were stronger than those reported by pvONLINE, Aspire Deer Valley's Online Academy and Ridgeline Academy Inc. in the available comparisons. It was not ahead in every grade: sixth-grade ELA was 66%, compared with 79% at Aspire.

Science shows a mixed picture over time: 11th-grade proficiency climbed from 50% in 2022–2023 to 70% in 2024–2025, while fifth-grade results fell from 71% to 57%; eighth grade dipped and then partly recovered, ending at 41%. Earlier-year ELA and math results are not supplied, so their trends cannot be assessed. Anthem Prep’s enrollment is the largest among the nine nearby schools listed; its student–teacher ratio of 14.3 is also higher than the nearby-school average of about 9. The supplied data do not include an Anthem Prep SchoolDigger rank or star rating, a free/reduced-lunch rate for any listed school, or results for five nearby schools. These figures offer context, not an explanation for the test results.

Open Quote Excellent school! Close Quote

Open Quote My second grader goes to this school. The uniform code is strictly enforced. The teachers are good, but probably should be paid more. The curriculum is pretty good, particularly in the lower grades. There is homework demand, but it really isn't that tough. My daughter is an exactly average student, and she normally spends 15 minutes a night on math, and 15 or so on spelling. We make her read for 20-30 minutes each night, and sometimes we go over science or history. All totaled, about 1 hour on some nights, on others much less. In the end, it is a public (charter) school, so the level of the students is dependent on the area. Anthem isn't Chandler, but this school does a good job with the students they receive.
