Arizona Department of Education
Dear parents: The Arizona Department of Education is pleased to provide you with this state report card as a part of our compliance with the federal No Child Left Behind law. We are working hard to raise academic standards for Arizona students. We are also holding our schools accountable for how well students perform academically. We are restoring classroom discipline, which is an essential component for achieving academic excellence. We also have an extensive state program to help schools whose test scores show a need for improvement. As you read this report card, you will find important information about the academic health of Arizona's public schools. On page eight, it is reported that only 13 percent of Arizona schools were in need of federal corrective action. As a result, 87 percent of schools do not need such action, a better record than many states. Page 15 shows that Arizona has 132 Excelling schools and 167 Highly Performing schools. For a complete list, please visit our website, www.ade.az.gov and click "Top Arizona Schools." We are working hard to make sure Arizona students and schools are performing to their absolute potential. Sincerely,
16

Table 5: Summary of the Number and Percentage of Schools in Arizona Receiving or Not Receiving Achievement Profiles
* 1097 Achievement Profiles were designated on October 15, 2003. Since some schools in the state serve both elementary and secondary students, the actual number of schools receiving Achievement Profiles was 1085. In total, 832 schools did not receive an Achievement Profile.**This number represents the total number of profiles included in the analysis. Of the 1929, only 1917 distinct schools are being counted. Again, this is due to the fact that some schools receive two Achievement Profiles: one for their elementary population and the other for their secondary population.

Tips for Parents
Good Attendance is Key
We live in an era of high-stakes testing. To obtain diplomas, students will have to pass the AIMS test. In Massachusetts, the students were given five chances to pass, as they will be in Arizona; 90% passed. When the records of the other 10% were examined, almost all of them had poor attendance. Because the test questions measure only materials that were covered in class, students who attend should pass the test, but the teachers cannot teach students who are not there.
Students Who Do Homework Achieve at a Higher Level
Helping children with homework is a wonderful way for parents and children to interact. Here are some ways you can help strengthen your students study habits: Designate a quiet place for your child to do homework Support the teachers by ensuring homework is completed and turned in on time Help your child value the importance of doing homework
Discipline
"First, we must restore classroom discipline. When teachers are not supported in disciplining disruptive students, some teachers tend to give up. That has lead to anarchy in some public schools across the country. Other teachers keep trying, but valuable time is diverted from teaching the students who want to learn. Restoring classroom discipline is a necessary precondition to creating a learning atmosphere, to facilitate academic excellence. When parents and school work together as a team, student behavior improves. I hope you will work with your school to make this a successful endeavor, which will ultimately raise the academic performance of all our students." ~Tom Horne, Superintendent of Public Instruction

| Full Text | Arizona Department of Education Dear parents: The Arizona Department of Education is pleased to provide you with this state report card as a part of our compliance with the federal No Child Left Behind law. We are working hard to raise academic standards for Arizona students. We are also holding our schools accountable for how well students perform academically. We are restoring classroom discipline, which is an essential component for achieving academic excellence. We also have an extensive state program to help schools whose test scores show a need for improvement. As you read this report card, you will find important information about the academic health of Arizona's public schools. On page eight, it is reported that only 13 percent of Arizona schools were in need of federal corrective action. As a result, 87 percent of schools do not need such action, a better record than many states. Page 15 shows that Arizona has 132 Excelling schools and 167 Highly Performing schools. For a complete list, please visit our website, www.ade.az.gov and click "Top Arizona Schools." We are working hard to make sure Arizona students and schools are performing to their absolute potential.

AYP: A measure of school performance as mandated by the federal government in the No Child Left Behind Act. AYP holds schools accountable for the performance of subgroups, as well as all students. AYP measures schools toward the goal of having 100 percent of all students proficient in state standards for reading and math by 2013-14.

Since some schools in the state serve both elementary and secondary students, the actual number of schools receiving Achievement Profiles was 1085. In total, 832 schools did not receive an Achievement Profile.**This number represents the total number of profiles included in the analysis. Of the 1929, only 1917 distinct schools are being counted. Again, this is due to the fact that some schools receive two Achievement Profiles: one for their elementary population and the other for their secondary population. 15 Tips for Parents Good Attendance is Key We live in an era of high-stakes testing. To obtain diplomas, students will have to pass the AIMS test. In Massachusetts, the students were given five chances to pass, as they will be in Arizona; 90% passed. When the records of the other 10% were examined, almost all of them had poor attendance. Because the test questions measure only materials that were covered in class, students who attend should pass the test, but the teachers cannot teach students who are not there. Students Who Do Homework Achieve at a Higher Level Helping children with homework is a wonderful way for parents and children to interact. Here are some ways you can help strengthen your students study habits: Designate a quiet place for your child to do homework Support the teachers by ensuring homework is completed and turned in on time Help your child value the importance of doing homework Discipline "First, we must restore classroom discipline. When teachers are not supported in disciplining disruptive students, some teachers tend to give up. That has lead to anarchy in some public schools across the country. Other teachers keep trying, but valuable time is diverted from teaching the students who want to learn. Restoring classroom discipline is a necessary precondition to creating a learning atmosphere, to facilitate academic excellence. When parents and school work together as a team, student behavior improves. I hope you will work with your school to make this a successful endeavor, which will ultimately raise the academic performance of all our students." ~Tom Horne, Superintendent of Public Instruction |
