Back to School: Education Choices in and Around Fountain Hills, AZ

Families in Fountain Hills enjoy access to a variety of outstanding educational options designed to meet every student’s needs, from neighborhood public schools to nationally recognized charters.

At the heart of the community is the Fountain Hills Unified School District (FHUSD), offering a small-town, student-focused experience with all schools, elementary through high school, conveniently located within town. Known for small class sizes, dedicated educators, and strong programs in academics, arts, and athletics, FHUSD continues to raise the bar.

A standout feature is Fountain Hills High School’s groundbreaking “FHU” (Fountain Hills University) program, a partnership with Arizona State University. This innovative initiative allows students to complete up to 54 dual-enrollment courses, earning both high school and college credit. Students can effectively complete their first year of college before graduation, and the district covers tuition costs, saving families thousands while giving students a head start on their academic journey.

For those exploring charter options, BASIS Scottsdale, one of the top-ranked schools in the country, is just a short drive away and offers a rigorous, STEM-focused curriculum. Families may also consider top schools within the Scottsdale Unified School District, including Desert Mountain High School and Mountainside Middle School.

Whether you’re new to town or considering your next move, Fountain Hills offers exceptional education in a safe, connected community.
