Schools. Where are the best, worst. (Phoenix, Scottsdale: 2010, home, neighborhood)

I have three elementary age kids. Their education is the absolute most important criteria for where we choose to live. What are the best school districts, high schools and areas for excellent public schools.

Az has an open enrollment policy. Your children can attend any school as long as there is room available at the time of enrollment. Also, there are many good charter schools out there. With this in mind we opted to buy a home in a neighborhood with less than stellar schools but an awesome neighborhood. We have always used the open enrollment law and never had any problems.
