Arizona Schools’ Top Grades Under Fire

from Mesa News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now!

Arizona’s school grading system is under fire after a state audit exposed a glaring disconnect: schools with top “A” ratings had less than 10% of students hitting proficiency in math or English. With 92% of high schools earning “A” or “B” grades despite shaky performance, parents are demanding accountability. The state is now overhauling the system, shifting away from growth-based metrics to separate grades for proficiency and improvement, aiming to reflect true student achievement. Parents can now dig deeper into the data on the Department of Education’s website to see the full picture. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
