Arizona

The Just for the Kids Web site for Arizona showcases school performance on annual school assessments. Using this assessment data, the Web site then compares Arizona schools to other schools with similar demographics.

The resulting differences offer Arizonans an opportunity to see areas where schools are performing well, and what specific areas of a school's performance need improvement. This data will also give parents, educators, policy makers, and the business community a sampling of similar schools that are performing well, so Arizonans can learn from our most successful schools.

Welcome to the Just for the Kids - Arizona, a school information Web site that provides actionable data and practices proven best in raising academic achievement and closing achievement gaps at all grade levels.

Since its inception in 1995, Just for the Kids' primary focus has been helping find and fulfill every school's potential for reaching excellence in student achievement. JFTK services and tools have been created to support school systems that accept the challenge of preparing ALL students for college and skilled careers. The JFTK strategy toward achieving excellence is embodied in three basic steps:

Step 1 - Inform: Analyze your school's achievement potential using Just for the Kids' consistency, opportunity gap and growth reports based on your state's academic test results

Step 2 - Inspire: Learn and compare your practices to those of consistently higher performers using the interactive Framework of Best Practices

Step 3 - Improve: Apply what you've learned in Steps 1 and 2 toward intentional and targeted improvement planning and implementation

Just for the Kids tools and services became available in Arizona for the first time in January of 2007 and currently include 2006 Just for the Kids School Reports for elementary, middle, and high schools.
