About Paradise Valley Unified School District
Paradise Valley Unified’s large north Phoenix network is organized mainly around K–6 elementary schools, grades 7–8 middle schools, and comprehensive high schools. A smaller number of K–8 and specialty campuses alter that ordinary feeder pattern, and school choice can change both the instructional model and the number of campus transitions before graduation.
PVOnline creates a district-run branch for grades four through twelve. Its elementary and middle students use scheduled live instruction, while high-school courses rely more heavily on flexible asynchronous work.
The same online name covers different daily structures by grade band. Physical attendance boundaries remain the starting point for most students; specialty campuses and PVOnline require separate attention to capacity, transportation, and continuation rules.
