About Cartwright Elementary School District
Cartwright currently reports serving more than 11,000 K–8 students in Maryvale, with different addresses producing different numbers of school transitions. Some campuses continue through eighth grade. Others end after sixth grade and send students to a separate grades 7–8 middle school. The ordinary route comes from the boundary map because campus grade spans differ.
That mixed configuration changes the meaning of a choice program. Bret Tarver’s gifted magnet serves K–6, and the Gifted Academy at Marc T. Atkinson serves grades 7–8. Together they create a planned continuation across the point where many students would otherwise leave an elementary campus. Dual language, STEM, arts, preschool, and other services sit elsewhere in the network and may have different entry rules.
Every Cartwright route ends after eighth grade. Eighth-graders move into a separate high-school district, so a family may experience zero, one, or more campus changes inside Cartwright before making a final governance change at ninth grade.
