This is the worst school. There have been bugs, bats, teachers that dont know where kids need to be or on the wrong bus. We just moved here and are moving again I will never let my kids go to this school again

Both my children attend MVE and This 07-08 is the first year I can say I am impressed with the improvements the school has made. I am truely moved by the entire staffs inthusiasm for the current year. MVE has a lot to offer their students with a wide range of afterschool activities, specialized reading program, and a staff eager to help young minds succeed. The PTA is small yet mighty this year! Working hard, getting the whole community involved with the school. Hoping to bring back a sence of neighborhood/community pride. Where the school lacks in parent envolvement, they make up for with their creativity. I am proud to be a parent of children who attend Mohave Valley Elementary. I know they are learning tools to succeed in life not only as children, but as future adults.

falculty cares about there students, this includes office help, teachers, lunch room, special aid teachers. the bus system liadlaw does not have any organization, i do believe the wellfare of the children is not there concern. 120 degrees and no air conditioner for months, un safe bus stops, ect. list goes on.

Good school where the staff tries hard to work with a diverse population. Attendance is a problem, but everyone seems to be looking for answers.

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.
