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