AYP holds schools accountable for the performance of subgroups, as well as all students. AYP measures schools toward the goal of having 100 percent of all students proficient in state standards for reading and math by 2013-14. 17 AZ LEARNS - State Accountability Profiles issued Excelling Highly Performing Performing Performing Plus Underperforming Failing to Meet Standards TOTAL NUMBER OF PROFILES Count 229 254 770 494 130 0 1877 Table 5: This table shows the number of schools that have earned the five AZ LEARNS profiles in 2004. AZ LEARNS is the system for evaluating schools required by state law. Excelling - meets or exceeds state performance and state progress goals and has the requisite percentage of students “Exceeding the Standard” category on AIMS. School performance was at or above the state baseline and/or the school made adequate growth during the past three years. Additionally, the school met the performance threshold required for Excelling schools with a certain percentage of their students exceeding the standard on the Arizona Instrument to Measure Standards (AIMS) over the past three years. Highly Performing - meets or exceeds state performance and state progress goals and has the requisite percentage of students “Exceeding the Standard” category on AIMS. School receives total scale value placing it in the Highly Performing classification. School performance was at or above the state baseline and/or the school made adequate growth during the past three years. Additionally, the school met the performance threshold required for Highly Performing schools with a certain percentage of their students “Exceeds the Standard” category on the Arizona Instrument to Measure Standards (AIMS) over the past three years. Performing - meets state performance goals, and meets state progress goals. School receives total scale value placing it in the Performing classification. School performance was at or above the state baseline and/or the school made adequate growth during the past three years. Performing Plus - above state performance goals, however the number of students exceeding the standard on the AIMS test is not sufficient to earn a highly performing or excelling label. Underperforming - needs to meet state performance and state progress goals. School receives total scale value placing it in the Underperforming classification. School performance was below the state baseline and did not make adequate growth, or the school started above the state baseline and did not make adequate growth during the past three years. Failing to Meet the Academic Standards - needs to meet state performance and state progress goals. School performance has been designated as Underperforming for three consecutive years and a site review determined that the designation of Failing to Meet the Academic Standards was warranted. 18 Highly Qualified Year State Aggregate High-Poverty Schools Low-Poverty Schools Moderate-Poverty Schools 2005 9% 12% 6% 7% Table 7: This table shows the percentage of core academic subject elementary and secondary school classes not taught by highly qualified teachers.

To obtain diplomas, students will be required to pass the AIMS test. Test questions measure only materials covered in class. Students who attend class regularly perform well, but teachers cannot instruct students who are not present. Students Who Do Homework Achieve at a Higher Level Helping children with homework is a wonderful way for parents and children to interact. The following are ways to strengthen your student’s study habits: • Designate a quiet place for your child to do homework. • Support the teachers by ensuring homework is completed and turned in on time. • Help your child value the importance of doing homework. Discipline “First, we must restore classroom discipline. When teachers are not supported in disciplining disruptive students, some teachers tend to give up. That has lead to anarchy in some public schools across the country. Other teachers keep trying, but valuable time is diverted from teaching the students who want to learn. Restoring classroom discipline is a necessary precondition to creating a learning atmosphere, to facilitate academic excellence. “When parents and school work together as a team, student behavior improves. I hope you will work with your school to make this a successful endeavor, which will ultimately raise the academic performance of all our students.” ~Tom Horne, Superintendent of Public Instruction The Arizona Department of Education does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national origin, sex, disability, religion, sexual orientation or age in its programs, activities or in its hiring and employment practices.
