Founded in 1884,[1] the boundaries of Creighton Elementary School District lie within East-Central Phoenix and a section of Paradise Valley.[2] Its main office is located at 2702 East Flower Street, Phoenix, AZ 85016.

As of 2012, most of the students speak Spanish and come from low-income households. As of that year, there was a high crime level in areas of the district.[3]

In 2013, the Creighton Community Foundation was created to support the community served by the district. The foundation's office is located on the campus of The Larry C Kennedy Elementary School.
