In the 2023-24 school year, 68.8% of Pima County students failed their AASA Math test, according to the Arizona Department of Education.
The 67,140 students who took the AASA test were assessed at four proficiency levels in each subject. Those achieving proficiency levels one and two failed the test, while the 31.2% of students who reached the third and fourth proficiency levels passed the test.
Of those who failed, most achieved proficiency level one.
A 2023 study from Scholaroo ranked Arizona last out of all U.S. states in terms of educational success, giving the state poor marks for school quality, student success, and teacher-to-student ratio.
Additionally, WalletHub also claimed Arizona’s school system ranked among the worst in the U.S. for class size, performance, funding, safety, and instructors’ credentials.
