Balsz Elementary School District

The Balsz Elementary School District #31 is a school district on the east side of Phoenix, Arizona. It currently includes five schools,^[1] which are: Pat Tillman Middle School (formerly Balsz Elementary School), established as a one-room school house in 1888; Griffith Elementary School, built in 1951; David Crockett Elementary School, opened in 1955; Orangedale Early Learning Center (most recently converted from a junior high), and Brunson-Lee Elementary School, opened in 2003.^[2] As of February 2022, the school district's superintendent is Dr. George Barnes. The district feeds into Phoenix Union High School District.

Despite the fact that there are just five schools located within the district, it has a very strong reputation among the town that it serves as a result of its excellent educational offerings. Numerous families have expressed satisfaction with the level of instruction provided because the school district welcomes students of all racial and ethnic backgrounds. Despite this, the region has seen its fair share of gloomy—or, to put it mildly, disappointing—mishaps and incidents.
