Where it is

The campus is on Jackrabbit Road in ZIP 85250, in an established part of Scottsdale where the school has stood since 1963. The Indian Bend Wash greenbelt, a long chain of parks and paths that includes Chaparral Park, runs north and south through this part of the city, and Old Town Scottsdale is a short drive south.

About the school

Mohave's best-known program is its Math and Science Academy (MSA) for grades 6 to 8. Scottsdale Unified announced the expansion of MSA to Mohave in 2025, modeled on the academy at Saguaro High School and set up as a pathway into it. The school describes STEM electives, accelerated and advanced coursework, some classes that count for high school credit, and an Innovation Center for robotics, coding and 3D printing. Students who complete the academy's requirements by spring of 8th grade earn a STEM Scholar distinction.

The school site also lists:

  • Spanish Dual Language Immersion and the Arizona Seal of Biliteracy program
  • The district's Comprehensive Gifted Program
  • Arts: band, choir, orchestra, music exploration, theatre and visual arts
  • Athletics: baseball, basketball, cross country, flag football, soccer, softball, spiritline, track and field and girls volleyball
  • Clubs such as robotics, SeaPerch underwater robotics, Future City, EV go-kart, creative writing, anime and culture, musical theater, rock band and National Junior Honor Society
  • Before- and after-school care

For the bell schedule and the school calendar, including early release days, check the Mohave website, since times can change from year to year.

Attendance boundaries and enrollment

Scottsdale Unified assigns middle schools by home address. The district's online school locator lets you type in an address and see the assigned middle school, and a district boundary map is available on the same page. Homes near a school are not always assigned to it, so always confirm a specific address with the district before you buy.

Mohave is in the Saguaro Learning Community. Kiva, Navajo and Pueblo elementary schools typically feed into Mohave, which typically feeds Saguaro High School. That is the usual path, not a guarantee.

If you live outside the boundary, Scottsdale Unified offers open enrollment. Open enrollment for the 2027-28 school year opened on November 2, 2026, at 8 a.m. Acceptance depends on space by grade level and program, and the district asks for a birth certificate, immunization records, proof of residency and a parent ID. The district's enrollment line is 480-484-6100.

In 2026 the district board voted to close some other schools and redraw the Pima Elementary area. I found no closure or boundary change involving Mohave or the Saguaro Learning Community, but check the district's news before you decide.
