All students in Arizona public schools (district and charter) in Grades 3 through 8 and high school participate in AIMS testing.
Grade 3 includes reading and mathematics. Grades 4 and 8 include reading, mathematics, and science. Grades 5, 6, and 7 include writing, reading, and mathematics. High school includes writing, reading, mathematics, and science.
Students who participate in Arizona online instruction and are enrolled in a tested grade level are required to participate in AIMS testing at a location established by their virtual school.
For Grades 3-8, AIMS is administered in mid-April on dates determined by the school or district. For high school, AIMS is administered in late October, late February, and early April. There are common state-wide testing dates for each content area of the AIMS high school test. Contact your student’s school for specific AIMS testing dates.

The school where your student took the AIMS test maintains AIMS results. Contact the school to get another copy of the lost AIMS results.
The criterion for "highly qualified" applies to all public district and charter schools. However, private school teachers serving Title I students in a Title I program must meet the highly qualified requirements.
Per state statute and State Board of Education Rules, Arizona public high school students must meet the AIMS High School graduation requirement in order to receive a high school diploma. The vast majority of students meet this requirement by earning passing scores on the AIMS high school test in the three required content areas (Writing, Reading, and Mathematics). There are alternative methods for meeting this graduation requirement. Contact your student’s guidance counselor for other information and eligibility requirements for these alternative methods.
