Trulia Voices is an on-line community where people can ask questions related to real estate and other related issues, which can be especially helpful if you are considering a move across the country.
This morning I answered the following question:
HELP! Relocating to Scottsdale and want some honest parents’ input on the schools. Any recommendations? Looking for real human comments on elementary schools and their experiences.
Since my response would be helpful to anyone considering a move to the area, I thought I’d share it here today.
I have a son who has attended six of the Scottsdale schools and would gladly share our experiences with you off-line. Also, I serve on the board of directors for the special education group above (my son is diagnosed with autism) and on the citizen’s committee providing oversight to the last year’s bond election which will fund much technology over the next seven years.
Here are a few local parent organizations which you can use to you get additional first hand contact with parents in Scottsdale many schools.

Also, you can visit the Scottsdale school web site, scroll down to the bottom, where you will see the Schools link. When you click on that link, the list of schools will come up with their web sites. Most will have links to the PTA organization for the particular school, which may give you more parent contact information.
IMPORTANT: You need to know that the city of Scottsdale and Scottsdale Unified School district boundaries are different. Buying a home with a Scottsdale address does not guarantee that you will be in the Scottsdale school district.
Call or email if you’d like to discuss more.
