A commenter made the assertion that CCUSD has the ‘best school report cards in the state’. Well the Arizona Department of Education ceased issuing report cards a few years ago, but according to the Arizona Auditor general, CCUSD does not even have the best AIMS passing rates in its peer group, much less the state. And we haven’t checked but it is a safe bet that CCUSD has the lowest poverty rate of any district in this group. And as we have shown time and again, CCUSD under performs most neighboring schools.
It is not good enough to be near the top, CCUSD should be the top district in the state. Educators would kill for demographics like our children have, and instead of trying to push our kids to be the best and compete with the top schools in the US or the world, the district and governing board are satisfied teaching our children to the state standards.

Thanks Watch...keep the facts coming eventually someone will take the shovel out of the districts hands and we will begin to climb out of this hole they've put us in.
