About Maricopa Unified School District
Maricopa Unified’s established physical route moves from elementary school to one of two middle schools and then to one of two comprehensive high schools. That pattern changed in 2026–27 when Alma Farrell Innovation Academy opened as the district’s first K–8 campus. Students placed there can remain through eighth grade instead of entering the ordinary sixth-grade middle-school transition.
The new campus opened alongside districtwide boundary revisions affecting elementary, middle, and high-school assignments. Maricopa Virtual Academy creates another branch for grades seven through twelve.
One choice removes a physical middle-school move; the other changes the delivery format during the secondary years. Current address maps are essential because the 2026–27 changes reach every layer of the neighborhood feeder system.
