“Our school letter grade is a reflection of our shared goal: the academic and behavioral development of our children. We have built strong relationships between our staff, students and families, and these relationships provide the foundation for us to dedicate ourselves to this goal. There will certainly be time to celebrate, as this is a tremendous achievement; but our work continues and now is the time to recommit to our efforts and push the needle forward. We will continue to use the High Reliability School Level 1 framework—creating a safe, supportive and collaborative culture—as well as the Level 2 framework—effective teaching in every classroom—to ensure our students receive the best possible educational experience,” said Matt Tidwell, principal.

School Profile

All Marana schools have created profiles that provide a snapshot of their school and include a range of information on demographics, clubs, special classes, standardized testing grades, points of pride, and more. Profiles are separate from ADE letter grades, however, they provide additional insight into each school’s culture, programs and people.

About State Letter Grades

School letter grades are determined using a formula that weighs a range of academic measures, including year-to-year student academic growth, proficiency in English language arts, math and science, the proficiency and academic growth of English language learners, attendance, special education metrics, high school dropout and graduation rates, as well as indicators that high school students are ready to succeed in a career or higher education.

A complete report of all Marana Schools’ grades are posted on the District website.
