Sequoya Elementary

Sequoya is amazing!!! Moving from a high performing school in Texas we were nervous about all the school choices we had in Scottsdale. We could not be happier! Sequoya’s teachers, staff and parent community is truly one of a kind. The school is at the forefront of using technology in the classrooms, the teachers are engaged and have educating the whole child approach and the students are given every opportunity to reach their potential!

Fantastic! Sequoya Elementary School is a public school, part of the Scottsdale Unified School District. After attending Sequoya, students feed into Cocopah Middle School and eventually the highly regarded Chaparral High School.
Sequoya is a wonderful school with talented teachers, involved parents and a demographically strong and diverse student body. No reason for considering a charter school if you live in this area.

Our children came to Sequoya from a preeminent private preschool with a coddling environment, so we had very high expectations. Sequoya has exceeded our expectations. It’s the finest example of a public school. The primary emphasis is education. This is achieved because the teachers, administration and parents work together. While Sequoya doesn’t claim «charter» or any other «boutique» status, it stands head to head with any school in Arizona. Whether your child requires an IEP, is gifted or has a learning disability, Sequoya educates the whole child — and EVERY child.
Sequoya’s principal is extremely accessible (responding to emails within a day, sometimes hours), knowledgeable and friendly. She walks through campus talking to students daily. Her dedication to Sequoya is clear: her car was often the only car in the parking lot over the summer. It’s evident she, like the rest of Sequoya, is happy and grateful to be part of this amazing community.
The APT (PTO) is active and inclusive. Most schools require a fee to join the APT. At Sequoya, there is no fee and everyone (fathers, grandparents, etc.) is a member. It’s a great mix of working and stay-​at-​home parents who strive to strike a balance between hosting fun activities to create a sense of community, fundraising and support for the teachers.
If you want your child to get a fantastic education and be part of a wonderful community, Sequoya is the school for you.

Sequoya is an amazing school community, where teachers, parents, and the administration all work together to create the best possible well rounded experiences for our children. Students are given incredible experiences to learn and grow. My kids have thrived here and we couldn’t be happier. Teachers and the administration are always accessible and receptive to discuss our children’s needs. The school also has amazing technology, leadership opportunities, lessons in responsibility, great academics and a general small town community feel… and a rock climbing wall for PE — making it super cool!!! And best of all — it’s a public school!
