The 2009 AIMS results were made public on July 15, 2009 and once again Pointe Schools posted scores among the best in the state.
This year Pinnacle Pointe Academy was one of six schools in the state (and the only school in Glendale) to have 100% of its fourth graders meet
or exceed the state standards in all three areas: reading, writing, and mathematics. Another impressive achievement: Every sixth grader in the
district passed the AIMS writing test. That means 100% of the sixth grade at Canyon Pointe Academy and Pinnacle met or exceed the standards in
writing. The sixth grade at Pinnacle also attained a 100% passing rate in math.
"Our students did an unbelievable job at Canyon and Pinnacle during last Spring's Mentoring Project," said the Prep's Principal Richard Gow.
"One of our main focuses was to help the students at Canyon and Pinnacle understand writing prompts. We provided them thinking and writing
techniques that we hoped would create confidence. The fact that 100% of the sixth graders met or exceeded the writing standards is very
rewarding."
All three Pointe Schools posted outstanding reading scores including Canyon’s 90% in fifth grade, North Pointe Preparatory’s 93% in tenth grade,
and Pinnacle’s 94% in sixth grade. Math scores for Pinnacle’s fifth grade were an impressive 91% meets or exceeds. North Pointe Prep’s eighth
grade, the year when most schools see a drop in AIMS scores, posted big numbers instead with 96% meeting or exceeding the state standards in
writing.
“This year’s scores highlight the commitment of Pointe’s teachers’ to ensure every student’s success.” Jody Johnson, the founder and
Superintendent of Pointe Schools, noted, “The yearly test results remind us that Pointe students not only have fun and enjoy school but are part
of an excellent academic program. That balance continues to be important to our families and sets us apart from other top performing schools.”
North Pointe Preparatory is one of only seven public schools in the State of Arizona accredited by the prestigious North Central Association as a
College Preparatory School. NCA is one of the largest accrediting associations in America and accreditation ensures that North Pointe meets the
highest standards of educational excellence.
