Verrado Schools
Since the beginning, celebrating learning has been a cornerstone of Verrado. From the authentic school architecture of all three of our campuses to student honors and gifted programs, to unparalleled parent and community support, our community is steadfast in its commitment to education. And, it's paying off.
Verrado welcomes the addition of The Goddard School. The community's first high-quality, independent early childhood development center for children ages six weeks to six years old. The school opened to its first students on August 3rd.
The educational facilities at Verrado are designed to reflect the character of traditional schools, while accommodating the innovative use of technology and teaching that extends far beyond the classroom. Click here to learn more.
Verrado currently lies within three school districts including: Litchfield Elementary School District, Agua Fria High School District, and Saddle Mountain Unified School District.
As part of the Litchfield Elementary School District, Verrado Elementary School serves pre-school and grades K-5 and Verrado Middle School serves grades 6-8. The schools sit in the heart of the community, within walking distance of many neighborhoods.
This year, both Verrado Elementary and Middle schools are proud to announce their Excelling ranking, the highest classification assigned by the Arizona Department of Education. The exceptional commitment of our teachers and staff, students and parents, in partnership with the community has helped earn this recognition.
Through an unprecedented partnership between DMB Associates, Inc. and the Rodel Foundation, Verrado Elementary School students will continue to benefit from another year of the MacRo (Math Achievement Club of Rodel) program. This acclaimed program has produced very high student achievement levels and test scores, and directly contributes to Verrado Elementary Schools' excelling rating.
Verrado High School is an innovative school focused on promoting rigor through a relevant curriculum and positive relationships. Its mission is "All Students College Ready". Verrado High School opened its doors on August 7, 2006.
Verrado High's first senior class, the class of 2010, have returned to campus. The school is drawing students from across the district interested in the unique programming offered at VHS. The school received the ranking of Highly Performing from the Arizona Department of Education and was recently recognized in the media for their dramatic improvement in test scores.
