🐾Wonder how APS stacks up against other area schools? Let’s talk test scores…🐾
⭐On the 2025 M-Step tests, APS 5th-grade students scored the highest in the RESD in all tests: Math, ELA, Social Studies and Science, and higher than the state average in three of the four.
⭐On the 2025 PSAT tests, our 8th grade average was higher than the state average in Reading, Science and Social Studies.
⭐The 3rd-grade scores for APS students were higher than the RESD average on both the Math and ELA M-Step tests in 2025.
⭐On average, our ELA M-Step proficiency improved 5% in 2025 compared to the 2024 scores.
⭐On the NWEA Winter 2026 ELA test, seven of the nine grades that took the NWEA (K-8) scored higher than the norm, which is the most we have ever had.
⭐In the four core subject areas on the State Assessments; Math, ELA, Socials, and Science, APS students have scored consistently higher than schools that have similar socioeconomic status for the last 5 years.

BIG things are happening in our Alma Campus Agriscience class! We have broken ground on the new barn! This new building will offer students a space that is up to the industry standard with more room for animals and supplies.

The Alma Campus Criminal Justice class visited the Gratiot County Courthouse. They were able to sit in on a civil case and several district cases. Students had the chance to ask both judges questions and heard from the clerk, bailiff and prosecutors. This field trip provided students with a look into some of the unique career opportunities that may align with their interests and goals!

Attending school every day is the goal, but we know unexpected illness can keep students away from the classroom. Practice healthy habits to prevent sickness. But if your child does get sick and cannot attend school, have a plan! Your child's teacher(s) and other dedicated school staff are here to help.
