Contents

The district includes the Congress census-designated place and a portion of the Yarnell CDP. [2]

The district sends high school students to Wickenburg High School of the Wickenburg Unified School District. [3]

History

Previously the Congress district did not operate any schools. [4] Students attended Wickenburg USD for all grade levels. [5]

At one point the Walnut Creek School consolidated into the Congress district. [6]

Congress Elementary School opened in 2001 with all grade levels in elementary and middle school. Its initial enrollment was 110. [5]

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. [7] Congress Elementary School District v. Warren resulted.

Student performance

In 2015 its AZMerit scores were 77% for mathematics and 66% for English. 80 of its students took the exams. [8]
