Arizona to change how it evaluates schools

Arizona to change how it evaluates schools A new standard for measuring school success was signed into law in May and is due out for the end of this school year.

For the 2009-10 school year nearly 30% of our schools did not meet the adequate progress on national standards according to the Arizona department of education.

This is a much needed step to increase competition for our schools to strive for excellence.
