Welcome to Assessments

The Assessments Section is responsible for statewide assessment of students enrolled in Arizona public schools. The section works closely with educators in the development and administration of statewide assessments. All Arizona public schools, including district schools and charter schools, are required to properly administer state and federally mandated assessments.

  • Post or link the resources on their Assessment homepage
  • Share the documents (either electronically or printed) with their families during Individual Education Program (IEP) meetings
  • Include the documents in presentations on Curriculum Nights or when Statewide Testing kicks off in Spring
