Congress Elementary School District is a K-8 school district headquartered in Congress, Arizona. It operates Congress Elementary School.
The district includes the Congress census-designated place and a portion of the Yarnell CDP.[1]
The district sends high school students to Wickenburg High School of the Wickenburg Unified School District.[2]
Previously the Congress district did not operate any schools.[3] Students attended Wickenburg USD for all grade levels.[4]
At one point the Walnut Creek School consolidated into the Congress district.[5]
Congress Elementary School opened in 2001 with all grade levels in elementary and middle school. Its initial enrollment was 110.[4]
In 2010 the student enrollment was 112. That year the district began the practice of filing lawsuits against parents who had filed multiple requests to make information public, asking to set a condition so only a judge could allow their requests to go through. The district argued that the parents were harassing the district employees. This caused the San Francisco Examiner to write a critical article about this.[6] Congress Elementary School District v. Warren resulted.
In 2015 its AZMerit scores were 77% for mathematics and 66% for English. 80 of its students took the exams.[7]
