K-12
Goodyear residents are served by four elementary school districts (Avondale, Liberty, Litchfield & Mobile), two high school districts (Agua Fria Union & Buckeye Union) and several charter schools. To learn which public school your child would attend, please visit the County Superintendent of Schools Website or call 602-506-3866.

Higher Education
In addition, the city has been proactively recruiting private institutions of higher education. Goodyear welcomed its first excellent private institution of post-secondary education to the community in 2008 - Franklin Pierce University from New Hampshire. In June 2009, Franklin Pierce began their Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT) Program in Goodyear. Franklin Pierce's Goodyear location also offers a series of online undergraduate and graduate programs.

The presence of this private university represents the culmination of a concerted effort by the Goodyear City Council and staff to bring smaller, private schools of higher education to Goodyear to round out our quality of life and fill an educational niche that is lacking in Arizona.

Avila University has announced the launch of Avila University Arizona (AUA) in Goodyear, with plans to begin classes in fall 2025. Their new location in 15,700 SF at GSQ will offer graduate programs in business and technology management, including specializations in the following:

• MBA in Project Management
• MBA in Healthcare Administration
• MSc in Technology Management with a concentration in Artificial Intelligence
• MSc in Technology Management with a concentration in Business Analytics
• MSc in Technology Management with a concentration in Data Science
