Coronado is well on its way to establishing itself as a front runner in providing quality education as well as a safe, encouraging environment. We moved into the neighborhood to give our kids the opporunity to attend this great school. It's also a great community to raise a family in!!

Mr. Williamson and Ms. Godfrey are a teaching team that is teaching sixth grade right now. They are both awesome teachers and will challenge the kids no matter what level they are on. Personal responsibility and rewards are a huge part of their classrooms. Mrs. Collinson teaches 5th grade. She has many innovative to make learning fun and teaches personal responsibility and lifeskills that they will need as adults.

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.
