School Letter Grades
Dear Gilbert Public Schools Families,
The Arizona Department of Education (ADE) released 2023-24 School Letter Grades today. The state’s ‘Accountability System’ is designed to empower schools to achieve and increase success for their students by providing districts and schools with feedback on areas of strength and those that may need additional focus and enrichment.
Schools earn a letter grade based on a range of metrics including proficiency and growth in key subject areas, graduation rates, subgroup proficiency improvement, acceleration and readiness measures, and college and career readiness indicators.
The Letter Grades used are as follows:
A = Excellent
B = Highly Performing
C = Performing
D = Minimally Performing
F = Failing
In Gilbert Public Schools we are extremely proud of our students and staff and their achievements. For the 2023-24 school year Gilbert Public Schools has achieved an ‘A’ letter grade for our school district. Further, all GPS schools have achieved either an ‘A’ or ‘B’ letter grade, rating them as excellent or highly performing by the Arizona Department of Education, listed below. This achievement is a reflection of the hard work of our students, staff, and families.
As a district we appreciate everything that goes into these assessments and recognize the ‘Letter Grade’ system as a useful measure of academic progress and achievement providing opportunities for celebration and also for continued improvement. We are proud to report that this year has been another year of growth and achievement for our students and schools, with scores improving at both the school and district level. We look forward to continuing to improve, with our goal of delivering academic excellence for all students front and center.
At Gilbert Public Schools we put our students first and we strive every day to deliver a well rounded, high quality educational experience for all. We are so proud of all that our students and staff have accomplished over the past academic year, and we thank you for choosing Gilbert Public Schools.
Sincerely,
Shane McCord
