🐾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.
