About Fountain Hills Unified School District
Fountain Hills now uses a four-stage local sequence: Little Falcons Preschool, McDowell Mountain Elementary for K–5, Fountain Hills Middle School, and Fountain Hills High School. McDowell Mountain moved into the former middle-school site in 2023 and now carries all six elementary grades, completing the current district ladder.
The high school extends that small K–12 system through an Arizona State University partnership. Students can combine graduation requirements with college coursework and may earn as many as 60 college credits. The opportunity is embedded in Fountain Hills High School, expanding the program without creating a separate early-college campus.
