The Arizona State Board of Education released school letter grades late Friday. I am excited to announce our District letter grades for the 2022-2023 school year. Tartesso is an A. Winters' Well is a B, missing an A by less than one point. Ruth Fisher is a B, missing an A by less than two points. Tonopah Valley is a strong B. Desert Sunset, as a new school, did not receive a rating for last school year. It will receive a letter grade next year. Congratulations to our students and staff on their hard work and dedication paying off in high levels of student learning and growth. We will continuously strive to have all A schools and keep them there. Thank you for your continued support.
