Seligman Elementary school is filled with students with potential. The teachers are willing and able to provide challenging and rigorous curriculum. Staff continues to grow and prepare for new state mandates to support student growth. We are in a time of change but up for the challenge. Let's go Antelopes!

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.
