About Cave Creek Unified School District
Cave Creek’s current school directory describes three elementary schools, one middle school, and one comprehensive high school. Black Mountain centers performing arts, Desert Willow houses Spanish immersion, and Horseshoe Trails is associated with horsemanship. These are elementary campus identities; by sixth grade, the in-person pathway converges at Sonoran Trails Middle School and later Cactus Shadows High School.
Academy of Excellence creates a distinct high-school branch for grades 9–12. Its FAQ says students enroll full time, cannot split their schedule between the online academy and Cactus Shadows, and generally transfer only at semester boundaries. The academy is a primary placement with its own pacing, not an extra online period added to the comprehensive day.
