About Queen Creek Unified School District

Queen Creek Unified’s fast growth has produced a physical network whose secondary grade spans are not uniform. Ten elementary schools serve through sixth grade, and two junior highs provide the conventional grades 7–8 bridge.

Some newer high-school campuses begin in seventh grade, while Queen Creek High retains a traditional grades 9–12 span. The assigned community can determine whether seventh grade begins at a junior high or a combined secondary campus.

Queen Creek Virtual Academy adds a district online route, and supplemental virtual courses are also used by students who remain at a physical high school. Growth, phased grade additions, and school capacity make current school-level information more useful than a single districtwide ladder. K–6 is the common starting point; the secondary route depends on address, campus buildout, and chosen format.
