Economic Impact

The Scottsdale Unified School District’s (SUSD) standard of excellence demonstrates the irrefutable value of investing in public education, the return on investment for taxpayers and SUSD’s notable competitive advantage.

As such, SUSD is a destination school district for students and staff and Scottsdale is a destination for home buyers and business owners.

SUSD’s new economic impact study, The Economic and Fiscal Impacts of Scottsdale Unified School District and the Value of Their High School Graduates, studied and reported by Seidman Research Institute at Arizona State University, validates the extent to which Arizona benefits from our district. Further examination by Rounds Consulting Group identified the district's value proposition and return on investment (ROI).

The SUSD Advantage creates a lifetime of positive economic impacts that benefit the city, county and state.

Thank you to our partners, Trammell Crow Company and City of Scottsdale Economic Development, for seeing value in SUSD and this economic impact study. 

We are confident you will see the various ways our economy is stronger, and the world is brighter #BecauseKids and our #SUSDAdvantage..
