At Manzanita Elementary School, we believe in helping every student grow into a confident learner, a kind friend, and a responsible global citizen. We are proud to hold an A letter grade from the Arizona Department of Education and to be recognized as a National Blue Ribbon School by the U.S. Department of Education. Our talented teachers—honored as CFSD Teachers of the Year, Arizona Art Educator of the Year, SARSEF Elementary Science Teacher of the Year, and more—create a nurturing environment where students excel in science, chess, mathematics, poetry, robotics, and writing. At Manzanita, we are more than a school—we are a caring, connected community where students are inspired to learn and thrive every day.
