Today, at 2:30 p.m., the Arizona Department of Education will be releasing the first "grades" for all Arizona public schools. The state is transitioning out of the model, known as Legacy, that featured labels such as "excelling" or "performing," to letter grades that are calculated in a totally new way. The new formula focuses far more heavily on student growth, from year to year. ADE has created a very nice (and somewhat easy to understand) explanation of how the "school grades" are assigned. You can read this information by clicking grade.
Once the information is released you will see the results of dedication, effort, time, and elbow grease by Desert Trails' students, teachers, and parents! It truly is, all about working together for these kids!!!
CONGRATULATIONS to DESERT TRAILS! I am proud to be serving as your principal and have a part in leading this school and impacting students in a positive way! Thank you for entrusting your child(ren) to us on a daily basis. We work diligently every day to make every student successful! I think you'll find the state agrees!
