Excelling Arizona Schools for the 2004-2005 School Year
Overview
Arizona schools, like many across the United States, utilize various measurement and accountability programs to enhance student achievement. One such program is AZ LEARNS, which holds schools accountable by evaluating student and teacher performance over multiple years rather than a single snapshot.
Evaluation Criteria
AZ LEARNS assesses schools using four established metrics:
1. AIMS Scores: Measures proficiency in reading, language arts, and mathematics for elementary schools; reading, writing, and mathematics for high schools.
2. MAP (Measure of Academic Progress): Compares AIMS and SAT scores to state averages.
3. Graduation/Dropout Rates: Used for high schools.
4. AYP (Adequate Yearly Progress): Tracks student proficiency in reading and mathematics over time.
School Ratings
Based on these metrics, Arizona schools are categorized as:
- Failing to meet academic standards
- Underperforming
- Performing
- Highly Performing
- Excelling
