Totally agree with the March 2005 comment, very poor academic standards. Double Standards and some sub-standard teachers with nothing from the Principal.

Posted March 7, 2005

Very poor admin. Was an excellent school. I had two sons one daughter go there. The oldest did very well because of accelerated programs. He is now a senior at Sabino. My younger son did very well grades (6-7) until the admin change and the loss of some of the best teachers anywhere. I took my daughter out after one year due to the sharp drop of the schools safety, honesty, and educational quality.

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.
