About Patterson Elementary School
High Standards with Small-School Charm
Nestled near the majestic San Tan Mountains, Charlotte Patterson Elementary School is home to the "PRIDE." Renowned for pioneering the area's first dual-option academic programming, Patterson allows families to choose the instructional philosophy that best aligns with their child's needs: Classic Patterson or Chandler Traditional Academy (CTA) at Patterson. This flexibility allows us to maintain high academic standards while preserving the welcoming, charming atmosphere of a close-knit neighborhood school. Our rigorous curriculum is beautifully complemented by an active PTO, supportive community members, engaging after-school clubs, and fun-filled family events that establish Patterson as a true leader in elementary education.
