The Preschool and Kinder are more than one can ask for in public education - amazing, dedicated teachers - small student to teacher ratio - access to the Patagonia Creative Arts Center - and a safe, historic building that is conducive to learning! (grades 1-4 however, at the high school on the highway, is less than ideal)

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.
