Arizona A-F Accountability System
Southgate is proud to be the recipient of “A” rating as an Alternative school.
Due to school closures resulting from COVID-19, House Bill 2910, passed in 2020, carried over prior year A-F Letter Grades. Therefore, 2019-2020 letter grades are the same as those awarded in the 2018-2019 school year. The System used to calculate School Letter Grades is called the A-F Letter Grade Accountability System.
Why are Letter Grades Issued?
Arizona Revised Statues (ARS§ 15-241) requires the Arizona Department of Education, subject to final adoption by the State board. (SBE), to develop an annual profile for every public school in the state on an A through F scale website.
The system measures year to year student academic growth, proficiency on English. Language arts, math, and science. It also includes the proficiency and academic growth of English language learners, indicators that an elementary student is ready for success in high school and that high school students are ready to succeed in a career or higher education and high school graduation rates.
