Falcon Families,
We’re excited to share some wonderful news! The Arizona State Board of Education has officially released the letter grades for schools across the state, and Alice Vail Middle School has received a “B” rating! This achievement is a testament to the hard work and dedication of our students, staff, and families working together to create a supportive, engaging, and academically successful learning environment.
Great work, Falcons and families! This success reflects your commitment to making sure our students reach their potential. Together, we’re building a school community that believes in academic excellence, supports student well-being, and fosters a sense of pride and belonging for every Falcon.
After-School Support & Clubs
Don’t forget that Alice Vail offers a variety of after-school programs and academic supports. We encourage students to take advantage of these opportunities to boost their learning and connect with peers! See tutoring times below.
Thank You for Your Support
Our “B” rating is a wonderful milestone, but it’s just the beginning. With your ongoing support, we will keep working to make Alice Vail Middle School the best place for every student to learn, grow, and thrive.
Thank you for being a crucial part of our journey to success. Let’s keep up the momentum, Falcons!

Verizon Innovative Learning Schools
About 15 TUSD schools participate in eSports. It is a funding challenge to build the eSports Arena to the specifications needed to be competitive in the Generation eSports platform. If anyone knows of a sponsor who would contribute 15 new gaming computers, it would be wonderful. I did build a DonorsChoose campaign for game controllers. We have had a generous Alice Vail family, our PTSA and EEF contribute to that campaign. Also RIOT games matched donations. Go AVFalcons!!
