Awesome! This school by far surpasses the off post schools. I highly recommend all FHAS schools!

if you must attend this school..get Mrs. Chesleigh for your child's 5th grade teacher. she's an excellent leader and will push them to do their best.

Although the staff and teachers are friendly, this school is lacking in the area of special needs.

It surely seems there is a lack of checks and balances at Gen. Myer School.

Wonderful! All Fort Huachuca Accomodation schools are awesome! The teachers are knowledgeable and dedicated. I couldn't be happier with the education my child is receiving at Fort Huachuca.

This is a terrible school for special needs students. Poor understanding teachers, security needs to be higher.

My son went to Myer in 1998 and 1999. His teachers were wonderful. The teachers were great at teaching my child all that he needed to go on to middle school. The other staff members were also wonderful. I give this school a four star rating.

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.
