The Department has resources available to school districts across the state to help them develop emergency response plans and threat assessment protocols. We also have a School Safety Resource webpage available for schools, parents and the public.

If you have concerns about your child’s school, we encourage you to talk to your local school administrators and refer them to our school safety resources. School safety is critical to everything we do in education, and the Arizona Department of Education working with schools to ensure the security of our students.

“A” grades were awarded to school districts and charter holders* that earned at least 140 of a possible 200 points using the Arizona Department of Education’s new A-F School Accountability Letter Grade System.

*In addition to receiving an “A” letter grade, charter holders had to meet the following criteria to qualify:

• Operate a minimum of three charter school sites
• Enroll a minimum of 750 total students

PLEASE NOTE:
This is the first year that Arizona’s accountability system has been applied at the organizational level (school districts and charter holders). While this list focuses on those high performing organizations impacting a large number of students, many districts and charters have individual schools that have received “A” letter grades.

On August 2, 2012, Superintendent of Public Instruction John Huppenthal announced the release of Arizona’s 2011-2012 A-F letter grades for all district and charter schools in the state. New this year are three additional letter grade models designed for small, K-2, and alternative schools, which should provide even greater value to parents as they choose appropriate placement for their students.
