Scottsdale Unified School District schools are excelling and getting better, according to the annual report cards of the state’s schools and districts handed out by the Arizona Department of Education.
Twenty-two schools in the district earned an “A,” six schools earned a “B” and one school got a “C.” No district school earned a “D” or an “F.”
State and federal law require the grades be assessed every year.
The most current grades measure the 2021-22 school year. They are an improvement to the previous year’s school grades of 17 “As,” 10 “Bs” and two “Cs.”
According to a release by the board of education, the grades grade mean:
- A (excellent): Distinguished performance on the statewide assessment, significant student growth, high four-year graduation rates, students on track to proficiency; overall performance is significantly higher than state average.
- B (highly performing): High performance on statewide assessment and/or significant student growth and/or higher four-year graduation rates and/or moving students to proficiency at a higher rate than the state average.
- C (performing): Adequate performance but needs improvement on some indicators, such as proficiency, growth or graduation rate.
