Arizona School Grading System Under Fire | Phoenix News

Arizona’s school grading system is under fire after a major audit revealed it’s rewarding schools for things beyond actual student learning — even as many students fall short in math and English. While the state has long been tweaking the A-F scale, the audit confirms officials were on the right track, but also exposes serious gaps: schools aren’t complying with a 2018 law requiring detailed, individual indicator grades, and data is often self-reported without proper verification. The Department of Education and State Board of Education are now committing to fix these flaws — including launching granular, transparent grades by November 2027 — with a follow-up audit scheduled in six months to ensure accountability.
