ACCOUNTABILITY: SCHOOL AND DISTRICT RATINGS
Tests are part of school life anywhere you live, and it’s no different in Arizona, where As far as school performance ratings for elementary and secondary education, schools in Arizona are rated according to the Arizona LEARNS rating/achievement profiles. These ratings are determined by student performance on the AIMS test, adequate yearly progress (AYP) as defined by the federally mandated No Child Left Behind Act, and the state’s measure of academic progress (MAP). Achievement profile categories include: Excelling: Grades K-8: 90% of pupils achieved one year of academic progress in all subject areas of the Arizona measure of academic progress, and 90 percent passed all subject areas of the AIMS test. Grades 9-12: 90% of pupils passed all subject areas of the AIMS test, the dropout rate is no more than 6 percent and the school’s graduation rate is at least 90 percent.
