Welcome to the Most Excelling school district
in Arizona!
If you want to enroll your child in
one of the best schools in the state of Arizona, you’ve come
to the right place. The Scottsdale Unified School District is home
to more schools that have earned the state’s top rating –
Excelling – than any other district in this great state.
Most of our 33 schools have openings right now.
You can enroll your child by simply calling the office of the school
you prefer.
Why choose Scottsdale?
All of our schools have made the grade with the
Arizona Department of Education – all of our schools are rated
as Performing or better. We have special programs for gifted students,
an International Baccalaureate program and offerings, such as band
and strings for children as young as the fourth grade, that aren’t
available in most other districts.
Even if you don’t live in the District, you are welcome to join us. Students from Phoenix, Fountain Hills,
Grayhawk, Cave Creek, Paradise Valley, and Tempe, as well as the rest
of the Valley and the Unorganized Area, are welcome in our classrooms.
