About Sacaton Elementary School District
Sacaton reorganized its two campuses for 2026–27. Sacaton Elementary now serves K–5, Sacaton Middle serves grades 6–8, and fifth grade moved back to the elementary setting. The district also adopted a Monday–Thursday student week and separate elementary and middle bus schedules, making grade level determine both campus and transportation timing.
The current district route begins at kindergarten. In April 2026, Sacaton announced the governing board’s intention to remove district-run preschool because it lacked a dedicated funding stream and to connect families with community Head Start partners. The K–8 schools continue to serve the Gila River Indian Community, with O’otham cultural learning present in school life.
