I recieved a student from this school, who now attends school in Yuma. He is able to converse in choppy English, can not spell any word in English correctly, including "I" nor is he able to read in English fluently. YET, this scholl did not have him in an ELL program it appears. My question is WHY???

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.
