Test 12

66.4% of Santa Cruz County students failed their AASA Language Arts test in 2022, according to the Arizona Department of Education.

Of those who failed, most achieved proficiency level one.

WalletHub claimed Arizona’s school system ranked among the worst across U.S. for class size, performance, funding, safety, and instructors’ credentials.

In 2022, average scores from Arizona students were found to be inline with the national average scores for math and reading, according to the Nation's Report Card.

Math scores fell the most from 2019 to 2022, while language arts scores decreased to a lesser extent from 2019 to 2022, according to the Nation's Report Card.
