In addition to the Blue Ribbon recognition, the district celebrated achieving an "A" rating from the Arizona Department of Education for the second consecutive year. This marks a historic milestone, as it is the first time the district has had no schools rated "C" or "D." Dr. Crodo noted that 18 out of 24 schools received individual "A" ratings, while the remaining six earned strong "B" ratings. This collective achievement underscores the district's commitment to educational excellence and the effectiveness of its professional learning community network.

The meeting also honored the principals of the "A" rated schools, acknowledging their leadership in creating vibrant and high-achieving learning environments. Dr. Crodo expressed gratitude to the governing board, cabinet members, teachers, staff, and students for their roles in reaching these milestones. He emphasized that these accomplishments reflect the strength of the entire community and serve as a reminder of the potential that can be realized through collaboration and dedication.
