About Altar Valley School District #51
Altar Valley’s current school directory shows two local stages. Robles Elementary serves preschool through fourth grade, and Altar Valley Middle School serves grades five through eight. That makes fifth grade the only campus change managed by this elementary district.
High school requires a transfer to another system. The district overview says students are bused mainly to Flowing Wells High School in Tucson, about 30 miles away, and the school directory states that Altar Valley provides transportation there. The transportation page also lists separate contacts for Flowing Wells and Marana high-school routes.
> **Current source conflict — verified 2026-08-12** > District pages currently disagree: the school directory shows Robles PreK–4 and Altar Valley Middle 5–8, while the district overview shows PreK–5 and 6–8. Confirm fifth- or sixth-grade placement during registration.
