When you look at the AIMS test scores, you may be surprised that no one had any problems with the curriculum or the number of students graduating. In Arizona, students must pass this exam in 10th grade in order to receive their high school diploma. In reading, 78% passed with is the same as the state average and 69% passed writing which was above the average by 1%, however, only 33% passed the science exam and only 51% passed the math exam which were both below state average.

It would be best if you learn more about the school and the curriculum before you enroll your child. It seems the school is lacking the proper educational tools for students to master math and science. Of course, they may be other reasons some students did not pass the exam. Talking with teachers and other parents may give you a better idea.
