This school is the best there is. Students get to learn in a great and safe enviornment while enjoying school.


Posted August 9, 2003

Having a child who is dealing with anger issues has been tough I have been told I was an over reactive parent who was reading too much into the outbursts I saw at home. Thanks to Ms. Spellecy honestly listening to what I was saying my child is receiving help in dealing with anger and learning how to express emotions in an expectable manner and finally achieving the educational goals she is capable of.

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.

Schools are identified as Excelling, Highly Performing, Performing Plus, Performing, Underperforming, Failing to Meet Academic Standards or Pending.
