AIMS Test Scores Exceed

Our eleventh grade students had the opportunity to increase their scores on the state AIMS exams this past fall. The results were very encouraging.

The AIMS is the state’s required exam for all high school students in public schools. While it is not required by the state of Arizona for private schools, it does provide the opportunity for our parents to compare apples-to-apples.

There are four possible scores on the AIMS high school exam for grades 10-12. They are: falls far below, approaching, meets, and exceeds. Students in the state schools are required to have at least a score of “meets” in reading, writing, and math to graduate from high school. If a student exceeds in those three areas and earns a grade of “B” in all of their core subjects, they are eligible for a scholarship to any of the three state universities.

Here are the statistics for our 11th and 12 grade students:
1. All of our juniors and seniors have scored at least at the “meets” expectation.
2. Out of eighteen possible scores for reading, writing, and math, twelve are “exceeds,” six are “meets.”
3. Three of our six students in 11th and 12th grades are eligible for the state scholarship: Austin, Jacob and Emily.

The 11th grade students have one more opportunity to “exceed” on the AIMS test this spring. Our tenth grade students have their first opportunity this spring to “exceed” on the AIMS.

Congratulations to the students, parents, and teachers for their accomplishments.
