McDowell Mountain Ranch is unique in that Scottsdale Unified School District planned an educational complex, housing both elementary and middle schools on the same campus. This campus is located in the community of McDowell Mountain Ranch at the corner of Thompson’s Peak Parkway and McDowell Mountain Ranch Road. The High School for McDowoll Mountain Ranch is Desert Mountain, located off of 128th street and Via Linda.
These schools are all excellent schools with Excelling scores from the state of Arizona. Parents and teachers are very involved with the education and learning experiences of the children. There are many events, musicals and Fun fund raisers that are very successful for the children, creating a community and assisting in funding the education opportunities.
