Maricopa County School Rankings-important info for home buyers looking for school district rankings and school rankings in Maricopa County
October 12th, 2009 in General | 1 Comment »
This blog will be a bit different from others we’ve done. One of our agents, James Mennes and I sat down this morning in hopes of helping one of our out-of state clients with the school rankings in Maricopa County. What we found was a bit appalling, a bit concerning, and definitely confusing. We spent a few hours arranging information that will make it A LOT easier for anyone to view, arrange, and use. With that said, the following information was gathered by us from the Arizona Department of Education, and should assist anyone looking to buy a home in Maricopa County, yet who places utmost importance into ranking Arizona schools and Maricopa County school district rankings as their top priority.
Definitions:
Excelling-A 5 out of 5 “stars” grade-best of the best
Highly Performing-A 4 out of 5 “stars” grade
Performing Plus-A 3 out of 5 “stars” grade
Performing-A 2 out of 5 “stars” grade
Underperforming-A 1 out of 5 “stars” grade
Failing-A 0 out of 5 “stars” grade
Arizona Dept. of Education calls it “AZ Learns” designation, and as such, utilizes various standards to come up with the grading system. We will not be commenting on how the designations are earned (as it is standardized by the state), but it utilizes various factors of highest importance to rank them as such.
Please click on the link below to download the Excel file we came up with today. It is arranged alphabetically, yet arranged in “groupings” of alike “rankings” to make it easier for anyone to disect the information, as needed.
