How to Check Your Child's 2026 AASA Scores
You can check your child's 2026 AASA scores on the AASA Parent Portal with a claim code from your school or on the printed report the school sends home.
- Get your claim code. Schools that use the Parent Portal give each family a claim code. No code yet? Email your child's school office and ask for it.
- Create an account on the AASA Parent Portal with your name, email address, and a password, then confirm the activation email.
- Find your child's results. Enter your child's first name, last name, date of birth, and the claim code. The details must match your child's school records.
- Download the report. Your child's ELA and math results appear on screen, with a link to download the full Individual Student Report as a PDF.
No portal at your school? Schools choose whether to use the Parent Portal. If yours doesn't, the printed report comes home with your child during the first quarter of the 2026–27 school year.
What Your Child's AASA Score Means
Each AASA subject shows a scale score and one of four performance levels. Level 3 (Proficient) or Level 4 (Highly Proficient) means your child met Arizona's expectations for their grade.
| Level | Name | What it means |
|---|---|---|
| Level 4 | Highly Proficient | Strong command of the grade's skills |
| Level 3 | Proficient | Meets the grade's expectations |
| Level 2 | Partially Proficient | Likely needs support for the next grade |
| Level 1 | Minimally Proficient | Likely needs substantial support |
- Look at the level first. Scale scores use different ranges for each grade and subject, so compare levels, not numbers.
- Check the skill areas. The report shows how your child did in each part of the subject. The weakest area is the best place to start practicing.
- Grade 3 families: the reading score matters for Arizona's Move On When Reading rule. Ask the school right away if your child scored far below grade level in reading.
Pick your child’s grade and try one AASA-style question. The free Cuemath app gives your child a short daily workout like this, so the skills behind a Level 2 score get steady practice before March 2027.

Grade 8: Predicted ACT Score
Grade 8 AASA reports include a predicted ACT score range for ELA and math. Arizona links grade 8 AASA scores to the ACT scale, so families get an early look before the ACT that Arizona students take in grade 11.
- What it shows: a predicted score and a score range for each subject
- How to use it: as a starting point for high school planning, not a final prediction. Two years of high school math can move it a lot.
Last Year's Statewide AASA Results
In 2025, about 40.5% of Arizona students in grades 3–8 scored proficient in ELA and about 33.6% in math. Those numbers have barely moved since 2022.
| Year | ELA proficient | Math proficient |
|---|---|---|
| 2022 | 40.3% | 33.5% |
| 2023 | 40% | 34% |
| 2024 | 40% | 32% |
| 2025 | 40.5% | 33.6% |
What this means for your child: about 6 in 10 Arizona students did not reach Proficient in ELA in 2025, and about 2 in 3 did not reach it in math. A Level 2 score puts your child in the largest group, not an unusual one, and the report points to the specific skills to work on.
When Will Statewide 2026 Results Come Out?
ADE has not announced a date, but past years point to September or October 2026. ADE released spring 2024 results on September 26, 2024, and spring 2025 results in mid-October 2025.
| Results for | Released |
|---|---|
| Spring 2024 | September 26, 2024 |
| Spring 2025 | Mid-October 2025 |
| Spring 2026 | Not yet announced |
Also coming: school letter grades. Arizona's A–F school letter grades use AASA results, and in 2025 they came out in late October 2025. The State Board of Education voted on August 24, 2026, to remove bonus points from the grading formula, but that change starts with the 2026–27 letter grades, released as early as October 2027.

I was never the kid who loved math. I was much more interested in books, stories, and writing, and, somewhere along the way, I became even more curious about people. Why do we learn differently? Why does something make sense to one child but not another? And what makes a student feel confident enough to keep trying?
That curiosity led me to study Applied Psychology, where I learned more about how children think, learn, and make sense of the world around them.
My love for writing did the rest. What started as something I simply enjoyed became a career. Over the past five years, I've worked as a freelance writer across edtech, SaaS, B2B, travel, lifestyle, and healthcare, learning how to write for very different audiences without losing the human side of the story.
Today, I'm an SEO Content Writer & Editor at Cuemath, where I get to bring many of these interests together. Working in education, and especially around math, has made me even more curious about what happens behind the screen or textbook: what parents worry about, what students struggle with, and what actually helps them learn.
That's also how I like to research. I don't just look at search results and call it a day. I go where parents and students actually talk: forums, reviews, communities, and conversations with real families. Because sometimes the most useful insight isn't hiding in a keyword; it's in a parent's question, a student's frustration, or a small detail someone shares about their learning experience.
I write because I'm curious. I research because I want to understand. And I love turning what I learn into content that feels genuinely useful to the people reading it.
