Where it is

The campus is on N. 60th Street in the desert foothills between Cave Creek and north Scottsdale, close to the CCUSD district office, which is also on N. 60th Street. Even though the street address says Scottsdale, the school belongs to Cave Creek Unified, and many of the homes it serves have Cave Creek or Scottsdale addresses. That mix of addresses is one reason I always check the district boundary map for a specific home.

The school has a long history in the district. Its original building was completed in 1973 for older elementary grades, kindergarten through 2nd grade were added in 1995, and the school reopened at its current campus in 2006. The campus was renovated, with a new administration office, in 2017.

About the school

Black Mountain's tagline is "Preparing Students for the Global Stage," and its mission is to ensure high levels of learning for all students. The fine arts are the headline: every student takes drama, dance, music and art, and the school presents its drama, dance, art and music programs to the community. Specials classes include art, music, PE, drama and dance.

Other programs the school lists include the Superintendent's Challenge, school-based sports and character education. Clubs and activities include Art Club, Choir, Drama, Dance, K-Kids and a video announcements club, plus intramural cross-country and basketball. The district's gifted program for grades 3 to 5 is called Creative Inquiry; ask the district how it is offered for Black Mountain students.

For working parents, the district's Kids Club before- and after-school program runs from 6:30 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. at each CCUSD elementary site. Pre-K is offered at each of the district's elementary schools, including Black Mountain. The school also has an active PTO that runs events and fundraisers.

Students typically arrive starting at 8:40 a.m., with the first bell at 8:55 and the late bell at 9:00. Half days end at 12:30 p.m. Check the district calendar each year, since schedules can change.

Attendance boundaries and enrollment

CCUSD posts boundary maps (K-5, 6-12 and K-12) on its website rather than an address lookup tool, so I read the map with you for any home you like and then confirm with the district. Homes near a school are not guaranteed to be assigned to it, and boundaries can change. Note that in 2025 the board voted to close Lone Mountain Elementary and news reports said it would be consolidated with Black Mountain, so older listings may still name Lone Mountain.

New families register online through the district, with documents such as a birth certificate, immunization record, proof of residency and parent ID. Children who turn 5 before September 1 can enroll in kindergarten. CCUSD accepts open-enrollment requests year round, based on space by grade, so families outside the boundary can apply too. After 5th grade, the district's 6-12 map sends students to Sonoran Trails Middle School and Cactus Shadows High School, the district's middle and high school.

Questions families ask

What grades does Black Mountain Elementary serve?
Black Mountain Elementary serves PreK through 5th grade. Pre-K is one of the district's preschool options, so ask the school about openings each year.

What time does school start and end?
The school day runs from 9:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., and every Friday is an early release day with dismissal at 2:00 p.m. Check the current district calendar for half days.

Is Black Mountain Elementary in Cave Creek or Scottsdale?
Its official street address is in Scottsdale, ZIP 85266, but it is a Cave Creek Unified school, and the district's mailing address is in Cave Creek. Homes it serves can have either address, so confirm boundaries with the district.

Where do students go after 5th grade?
The district's 6-12 boundary map assigns its students to Sonoran Trails Middle School and then Cactus Shadows High School.

Custom contemporary home in Cave Creek's Estado de Cholla, built in 2018 on over an acre near North Scottsdale. This 3,460 SF residence offers 4 bedrooms, 3.5 baths, a pool, no HOA, and a cooled 3-car garage with EV charger. A striking glass-and-iron entry door creates a memorable first impression from the front courtyard. Stacking glass doors open to paver patios and outdoor living spaces. A whole-home Lutron system illuminates clean lines, expansive art walls, and refined interiors. The kitchen features European-style cabinetry that is both esthetic and functional. The generous lot offers room to add an RV garage. For buyers who have been searching for contemporary architecture rather than another traditional desert home, Quailbrush Retreat offers an entirely different point of view. There's something particularly compelling about a home that doesn't look like everything else around it. At Quailbrush Retreat, contemporary architecture takes a different approach to the traditional Cave Creek aesthetic, with clean lines, generous proportions, and interiors that invite individual expression. The architectural details begin before you enter. A striking glass-and-iron front door creates a memorable arrival from the private courtyard, introducing a home where design is evident in even the smallest details. Consistent tile flooring creates a visual connection throughout the interior, while expansive stacking glass doors extend the living spaces to generous paver patios, the pool, and thoughtfully landscaped grounds. For the art enthusiast, the possibilities are immediately apparent. Expansive white walls provide a beautiful backdrop for a treasured collection, while carefully placed art lighting creates opportunities to showcase everything from large-scale contemporary pieces to photography and sculpture. The builder's European background in electrical design is evident in the sophisticated lighting, enhanced by a whole-home Lutron system that allows the atmosphere to change throughout the day and evening. Even without a significant art collection, the architectural simplicity gives buyers the freedom to make the interiors distinctly their own. The kitchen continues that attention to detail. A substantial island anchors the space, surrounded by European-style cabinetry, built-in refrigeration, a beverage refrigerator, appliance garage, pot filler, and a streamlined backsplash with concealed outlets. Just beyond the kitchen, an exceptionally large walk-in pantry provides an abundance of storage, keeping the kitchen's clean aesthetic intact without compromising functionality. The floor plan balances generous living areas with well-defined private spaces, and it's here that the home reveals some of its most interesting possibilities. One bedroom has a separate entrance accessible from the driveway, making it particularly well suited for a home office where clients or visitors can come and go without passing through the main residence. Another bedroom is ensuite with direct access to the pool, creating a wonderful arrangement for visiting guests who can enjoy the outdoor spaces right from their room. The primary suite is equally thoughtful, featuring a soaking tub, dual-entry walk-in shower, and a custom-designed walk-in closet with its own washer and dryer. The home also includes a separate, generously sized laundry room with built-in cabinetry, providing substantial space for household organization and storage. These are the kinds of practical details that may not immediately catch your attention, but make a meaningful difference in everyday life. The home's functionality extends to the three-car garage, equipped with a mini-split cooling system and EV charger. Natural gas is available at the property, although not currently connected, and the home is plumbed for gas with a stub at the cooktop. With more than an acre of land and no HOA, the property also offers room to add a detached RV garage, subject to applicable approvals. For an RV owner, automobile enthusiast, or someone seeking additional enclosed storage, this presents an opportunity to further customize the property. Minutes from Cave Creek's distinctive western town atmosphere, with convenient access to North Scottsdale, golf, hiking, dining, and shopping, Quailbrush Retreat offers a combination of contemporary design, individual character, and practical features that make it worth experiencing firsthand.
