Phoenix/Scottsdale Schools

Which school is best for your child? There's a concerted effort to produce national statistics so schools can be compared. But, as Benjamin Disraeli was wont to say, "There are lies, damn lies and statistics."

Until you've been nose-to-nose with a recalcitrant teacher at a PTA meeting, you really don't know what kind of school you're dealing with.

I relocated with my family to Scottsdale in 1997 and schools were a very important part of the decision. We wanted the best schools for our daughter. We visited several schools, both public and private, and talked with parents of children in those schools. I can share my insights with you. because I've been there and done that.

Some of things to keep in mind when choosing a school are:

  1. What are the current & future teacher/student ratios?
  2. If I live near a neighborhood school, will my children be assured of going there?
  3. Which parts of Scottsdale are in the "unorganized district"?
  4. Where are new schools planned?

These are some answers which are impossible to find on the Internet.

If you're relocating here and want to know about the schools, give me a call or fill out my buyer's form and I'll point you in the right direction.

 

Below we have listed the school districts with addresses and phone numbers. Each school district has its own web site as do many of the schools. We have provided links where possible. Following the school districts list is a chart comparing the school districts. At the bottom of the page is a link to the private schools in the area.

The individual schools for each city are included under that city's page. There is a city menu in the right hand column that will take you there.

 

NOTE: Each link to an external site opens up in a separate window. By closing that window, you will return here.
