I have had four children attend this school. We've lived here and attended Linden Elementary for three years now. What a terrific staff! They work hard and have great flow in the learning from year to year so that the children are picking up where they left off the year before. All of my children are reading far above their grade levels. It is an excelling school with a small town atmosphere. Every teacher at the school knows each child by name. I LOVE the Christmas program that is put on every year. Hats off to well-rounded learning. My kids are very happy and so am I.

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.

For high schools, AIMS results, AYP status and graduation/dropout rates are used. Schools are identified as Excelling, Highly Performing, Performing Plus, Performing, Underperforming, Failing to Meet Academic Standards or Pending.
