Alice Vail Middle School

This District mandated program is designed to provide support to students who need extra help in reaching grade-level proficiency in English Language Arts (ELA) and/or Math as measured by the Arizona Academic Standards Assessment or AASA. Students were selected based on their performance on the 2023-24 AASA for grades 4 - 8. Students may have been chosen to participate in this program because she/he has a score(s) of Minimally Proficiency and/or Partially Proficient in ELA or Math.

We believe that with additional support and targeted instruction, your student can be nearer to or at grade level mastery on the AASA which will be administered in April 2025.
