Base housing is divided by Glendale Avenue, which separates residents into two school districts. Those north of Glendale Avenue in Saguaro Manor fall within the Dysart School District. Elementary school students will attend Luke Elementary ( http://www.dysart.org ). Those south of Glendale Avenue in Ocotillo Manor fall within the Litchfield Elementary School District. Elementary school students will attend Barbara B. Robey Elementary ( http://www.lesd.k12.az.us ) in this district. There is a schools bus service dropping students off on base.

Both elementary schools are K-8 schools and have a fairly good reputation, parents on greatschools.org rate it Robey 4 out of 5 stars, with a greatschool score of 6 out of 10. Luke is parent rated 3 out of 5, greatschool score: 5 out of 10. Please read lots of reviews there. Testresults seem rather mediocre please check: http://www.schoolmatters.org -

Home schooling is educating children outside the public-private-parochial school establishment. Each state has specific mandatory requirements for parents who choose the home schooling option. Parents who choose to educate their child at home and who resides in Arizona visit the homeschool website or call 602-506-3144.
