It's an A+ designated school with very high standards and expectations of students and parents. Teachers and staff are dedicated, hardworking and caring. I couldn't ask for a better public school in my neighborhood. We are extremely happy with the results our two children have had so far and have two more kids that will be following in their footsteps soon!

About the tests

AIMS is a standards-based test, which means that it measures how well students have mastered Arizona learning standards. Students must pass the grade 10 AIMS in order to graduate. The goal is for all students to meet or exceed state standards on the test.
