Dysart Unified School District
Dysart Unified School District is an "A" labeled school district in Maricopa County, Arizona. It serves the cities of El Mirage and Surprise, and a small portion of Youngtown and Glendale near Luke Air Force Base.
The district was founded by Nathaniel Dysart (died 1957) who was a rancher in the valley[1]. The district itself, the main facility, and Dysart road (which runs from Peoria to Avondale) are all named after him. Prior to 2001, the district had only 5 elementary schools, and 1 high school.[2] However, due to the exponential growth of the City of Surprise (and El Mirage), the district became one of the fastest growing districts in Arizona. In the 2000s, the district built at least 1 school per year. By the end of the 2000s, the district had a total of 24 schools. In 2013 however, 1 elementary school was closed due to low numbers and reopened as the current location of Sundown Mountain, the district's alternative school.[3]

Ashton Ranch Elementary School
