About the tests

• In 2008-2009 Arizona's Instrument to Measure Standards (AIMS) was used to test students in reading, writing and mathematics in grades 3 through 8 and 10, and in science in grades 4, 8 and high school.
• AIMS is a standards-based test, which means that it measures how well students have mastered Arizona's 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

• In 2008-2009 Arizona used the TerraNova to test students in grades 2 through 9 in reading, language arts and mathematics. The TerraNova is given alone in grades 2 and 9 and in conjunction with the AIMS test in grades 3 through 8.
• The TerraNova is a national norm-referenced test, which means it measures how well students in Arizona scored in comparison to their peers across the country.
• The goal is for all students to score at or above the national average on the test.

About AZ LEARNS

• 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.
