The Flagstaff Unified School District (FUSD) is a K-12 school district for Flagstaff, Arizona area and neighboring areas. The district has approximately 11,500[4] students and operates 16 schools; including three high schools (9–12), two middle schools (6–8), four magnet schools (various grades), ten elementary schools, and two alternative programs.

History

The Sedona-Oak Creek Unified School District opened in 1991, taking territory and assets from FUSD. At the time, Sedona students continued to attend Flagstaff for high school.[5]

Boundary

The district boundary consists of portions of Coconino County. It includes all of Flagstaff. Additionally, the district includes the following census-designated places: Bellemont, Doney Park, Fort Valley, Kachina Village, Leupp, Mormon Lake, Mountain View Ranches, Mountainaire, Munds Park, Oak Creek Canyon, and Timberline-Fernwood, as well as portions of Blue Ridge and the Coconino County portion of Winslow West.[6]

Prior to the establishment of Sedona-Oak Creek Unified School District, Flagstaff USD directly included all of Sedona, and took students from the Red Rock school district, which did not operate any schools.[7]
