Our Curriculum
Formatives
Each grade level administers formative tests to measure specific objectives taught in class and to assess mastery of Arizona State Academic Standards. Queen Creek Junior High School's performance standard is based on 80% mastery. Each grade level develops five questions per objective for the formative assessment. Depending on whether the student is above or below 80% determines whether they will attend a reteach class or an enrich class. Students attend these classes daily for 30 minutes.
Benchmarks
We give quarterly benchmark assessments to all students. All benchmark assessments are constructed by School City and are aligned to the Arizona State Academic Standards required for state testing. Once we've received the data for the quarterly benchmark, we determine the performance of each student, each class, and each grade level to determine which students are meeting the standards. This data allows us to determine the effectiveness of the curriculum and instruction implemented in the classroom. Based on quarterly data, teachers modify instruction to increase student achievement.
