I have two sons at the Winkelman Primary School. They have good teachers. My oldest one has come a long way in the studies and wants to excell more. The youngest one is following in his brother foot steps. I wish there were more parent volunters in the school. The children love when there mom or dad come to school with for the day or even for a 1 hour or 2. The staff are working hard to make sure ever students get the help they need to go on to the next grade. We have programs that help the students who are on Free or Reduce lunches they can go to Kids Closet in Mammoth Az for some new clothes and other fine things. Winkelman Primary is the best!

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.
