Description: The Scottsdale Unified School District was founded in 1896 by Major Winfield Scott, also the founder of the city of Scottsdale. The first classes were taught by Aliza Bount, who, for health reasons, moved to Arizona from Illinois with her husband George and their three children. Classes were held in their adobe home, which was just south of what is now Civic Center Plaza and Second Street. Aliza Bount was paid $40 a month to teach the 8-10 students from the seven families who resided in Scottsdale at that time.
The District's first bond election was held May 1, 1909, with 13 citizens voting "yes" and zero citizens voting "no." The amount of the bond, $5,000, was used to build our first school, now known as the "Little Red Schoolhouse." This building, also known at the time as Coronado School, is a historic site on Scottsdale Mall and now the home of the Scottsdale Historical Society.
Today, the District covers 112 square miles. Our boundaries are not coterminous with city of Scottsdale boundaries. We serve most of the town of Paradise Valley and parts of Tempe and Phoenix in addition to most of Scottsdale. The District has about 25,668 students and 1,551 teachers. We have 5 comprehensive high schools, 1 online high school with Scottsdale Online Learning, 6 middle schools, 3 K-8 schools, 16 elementary schools and 3 Early Childhood campuses.
Where possible, ChildcareCenter provides inspection reports as a service to families. This information is deemed reliable, but is not guaranteed. We encourage families to contact the daycare provider directly with any questions or concerns, as the provider may have already addressed some or all issues. Reports can also be verified with your local daycare licensing office.

This is the WORST school with no moral values,respect for others and provide very little quality in education! It is a negative aggressive environment. The teacher's cuss and swear at the students..after cussing..Mr Meigh spends more time out in the hallway talking to Ms.Foley and leaving the students unattended in the class room. This behavior is not acceptable!
The middle school Administration is lead by some very questionable staff and have no accountability for their actions! The Admin staff worry more about their image than doing their jobs!
The dress code is a joke they only do on a case by case flavor of the day no consistency!
I WOULD NEVER recommend Copper Ridge school.
