A small school with under 200 students. Nice teachers who care about the kids well being and go the extra mile to insure they are performing. The school could use more sports and extracurricular activities for all kids as it is a very rural area and there is not much to do after school for most kids. Overall an excellent school. My son's second year at Elfrida Elementary and we have no complaints.

I was a formore student a elfrida elementary and it was an awsome school this school was not only about learning it was also about perparness for high school and I would like to thank this school for who it made me today! It was an honor to go to this school because the teachers care if you fail or not.Parents get involved with the school so there kids would be helped so it is a great school to go to. I know this because they all helped me when I was failing and I also graduated a 8th grade class of 2005!

As a former student of Elfrida Elementary School, I can say that it has indented a profound memory of greatfulness namely because of one teacher, Mrs. Karen S. Straub.

About the tests


In 2011-2012 Arizona used the Arizona Instrument to Measure Standards (AIMS) to test students in reading and mathematics in grades 3 through 8 and 10, writing in grades 5, 6, 7, and 10, and in science in grades 4, 8 and 10. 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.
