Families Continue to Choose SUSD ‒ Open Enrollment for 2025-26 Available November 1
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. (October 22, 2024) – Families across Scottsdale and the Valley continue to choose Scottsdale Unified School District (SUSD) for its strong academics, unique programs, and community that excels in fostering student growth and future success.
“SUSD felt like coming home,” said Navajo Elementary and Mohave Middle School parent Jenny Duran. “The long tenure of teachers and their support for gifted learners sets the district apart.”
Parents continue to appreciate the blend of academic rigor and personal growth opportunities SUSD offers students. “The International Baccalaureate program at Desert Mountain High School has made my reserved children more confident and prepared for real-world challenges,” added parent Seema Patel.
Extracurricular opportunities also play a key role in why families stay. "In middle school, the tiered sports system has built my kids’ confidence and created a supportive team environment," said Nicki Ess, parent of two SUSD students.
Strong community engagement is another reason families stay with SUSD. Parent and community partner Scott Stevenson said the decision to choose SUSD was an easy one for his family. “After touring our local elementary school, along with a few others, we knew that SUSD was the community we wanted our children to be raised in. My kids have developed a love for sports, reading, and art, thanks to SUSD’s opportunities and supportive environment.”
Open enrollment for SUSD’s 2025-2026 school year opens November 1, offering families from around the Valley the chance to join our exceptional district, where academics, relationships, and community come together to create a well-rounded student experience.
