Scottsdale Unified School District Has So Much To Offer!
As a third-generation Phoenician/Real Estate Broker, and the father of two children who attend schools in Scottsdale School District (officially known as the Scottsdale Unified School District), I feel fairly qualified to answer.
1. Academic Performance: Year after year, the Scottsdale School District test scores outpace both the Arizona and National averages by a very wide margin. At the high school level, Scottsdale Unified School District ACT Scores were higher than the Arizona average in every category over the past 5 years. The 5 years of test results for the Scottsdale School District are very impressive.
2. Athletics/Extra-Curricular Activities: The Scottsdale School District excels in both areas. Numerous state championships in all sports, awesome coaching and instruction, and a wonderful variety of clubs and activities for all students to participate in is a strong suit for the schools that fall into this school district.
3. Parental Involvement: We've all heard the adage, "It takes a village to raise a child". We have found through the years that the various Parent/Teacher Organizations at the schools our daughters have attended (and still attend) are extremely proactive and committed to making the schools the best they can possibly be. There has been constant communication from them, and the educators and administrators have been very helpful in working with these various organizations.
You've seen the statistics, and you now have the opinion of someone who has spent the past 15 years living and representing sellers and buyers in the Scottsdale School District. So, the question that begs to be asked is, "Why should I purchase a home in the Scottsdale Unified School District"?
School performance is one of many reasons to purchase a home in a certain area. Now, let me share a few other reasons as to why so many people love their decision to purchase a home in this incredible area.
1. Convenience: The Scottsdale School District is very centrally located, with major arterials (SR 51, Loop 101, etc.) nearby, taking you anywhere in the Valley in a matter of minutes. I've provided a Scottsdale Unified School District map for your convenience.
2. Shopping/Entertainment: Some of the Valley's best shopping (Old Town Scottsdale, Kierland, and Scottsdale Fashion Square), dining (you name it, and it's probably in Scottsdale), and entertainment areas (awesome golf courses, movie theaters, etc.) are located within, or close proximity to Scottsdale.
3. Low Crime Rates: Neighborhoods that fall within the Scottsdale School School District boast some of the lowest crime rates in Arizona. I've included a statistical analysis/map of the crime rate in Scottsdale School District area.
