Welcome to Frances Brandon-Pickett Elementary School, located in Queen Creek, Arizona. You’ll find us south of Ocotillo Road and west of Rittenhouse. We are an elementary school serving students in the kindergarten through fourth grades.

We are one of seven schools in the Queen Creek School District and are proud to be part of such a vibrant and growing community. Our school is the namesake of the teacher/artist, Frances Brandon Pickett. Looking to the left, when visitors enter our building, they will see the display case filled with artifacts and photos donated by Mrs. Pickett. Straight ahead they immediately gaze on the beautiful oil painting of mustangs which she painted especially for our school! We are honored to be a part of the heritage of Queen Creek. Our parents and community members support our school and students, and our teachers are dedicated to educating young minds. Due to the diligence of our superb faculty, our school has earned an Excelling label from the state of Arizona. We are proud of our Mustang family!

Take some time and browse through our Web site. We want it to be a helpful resource for your family and the first place you go for information. As always, if you ever have questions, concerns, or suggestions, just let us know. We are always happy to talk with you!

Dear Families and Friends of Frances Brandon-Pickett School,

Welcome back! I hope everyone had a fun, restful break and is excited to be back at school. Over the break, we received the official news from the Arizona Department of Education regarding our grade and label. I’m thrilled to let you know Frances Brandon-Pickett is being recognized as an Excelling School in Arizona. In addition to labels, the Arizona Department of Education is now giving schools letter grades ranging from A to F; we are happy to say we received a letter grade of A! I’m also pleased to share that QCUSD has been recognized as an A district, making us one of the top ten school districts in the state of Arizona. Thanks to everyone (students, staff, and parents) for your dedication to the students!

Sincerely,
