Dysart Unified School District has three schools that have been identified by the Arizona Department of Education (ADE) as being in School Improvement: El Mirage, Thompson Ranch and Riverview Elementary School. Identified schools become eligible for additional support from the district and state as they work to improve teaching and learning, attendance, graduation and participation in testing.

Parents of the children in these schools have the following options:

• Remain in the school and actively participate in the school improvement process.
• Seek enrollment at a School Choice

Parents of the children at El Mirage and Thompson Ranch also may request tutoring.

While all parents will have the opportunity to indicate whether they want their children transported to another school, there is no guarantee that all children will be able to attend the other schools unless the child is currently enrolled in a school of choice.  Students who have low test scores and low income will have priority.
