About Scottsdale Unified School District
Scottsdale Unified’s physical network has a recognizable K–5, 6–8, and 9–12 backbone. Fourteen elementary schools feed six middle schools and five comprehensive high schools, while two K–8 campuses preserve one-site continuity through the middle grades. The district’s five learning communities organize most neighborhood feeder relationships.
Scottsdale Online Learning provides a separate high-school setting, and specialty programs can alter the boundary route at earlier stages. Selecting a K–8 or specialty campus changes the number of transitions; selecting the online high school changes the daily format. Address remains the starting point, but the district’s choice architecture requires families to distinguish a program inside a school from a full-school placement.
