Arizona Higher Performing Schools Recognition

The National Center for Educational Achievement (NCEA), a department of ACT, Inc., in partnership with the Arizona Department of Education (ADE), released the 2013 NCEA Higher Performing Schools list for Arizona. The list identifies those elementary, middle and high schools in Arizona that have consistently outperformed their peers with similar student populations over a three-year period.

ABEC recognized Arizona Higher Performing Schools – schools that are advancing their students toward college and career readiness (CCR) more rapidly than schools of like demographics.  Schools recognized by ABEC fall into one of two categories:

1.    Arizona Higher Performing Schools - those that are advancing their students toward CCR in all grades tested in ONE OR MORE content area, and

2.    Arizona All Subject Higher Performing Schools - those that are advancing their students in all grades and ALL CONTENT AREAS TESTED.
