Its a really good school my kids have been attending since 2011! My Kids will be graduating from this school! The front staff and teachers are great, The IEP staff are really concerned with the kids, and their ability to be more succesful. It does need some Funds, being a new school thats how it starts little by little. My daughter in middle school and son in elementary will be attending this school also Thanks! Mr. Madrid (principal) This is a no student left behind!

This school is very unorganized. They claim to be the best school This school is full of lil' drug dealers and gang fights in the park after school. They don't keep parents notified of any important information about the kids tardies and absences. THEY ARE MONEY HUNGRY CHARGING FOR EACH SPORT 50... Cops had to be called the last day of school for a riot that was gonna occur...

The girls' sports staff and program is horrid. It would be nice if they could win a volleyball or softball game. Embarressing coaching! These are still children and need your instruction as well as PRAISE. I've never heard a positive or encouraging remark from the coaches during any games.

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.

About the tests


Arizona uses AZ LEARNS Achievement Profiles to indicate schools' overall performance each year. For elementary and middle schools, the profiles are based on current and historical aggregated AIMS results, MAP results and whether or not the school made Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP). 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.
