School is in – and state grades are out, as well as a complex points system.

Scottsdale Unified School District celebrated an “A” grade, highlighted by nearly two dozen schools that aced their report cards.

“We are incredibly proud of our students, teachers, and staff for their hard work and dedication,” SUSD Superintendent Scott Menzel said. “Earning an ‘A’ rating once again reflects the strength of our academic programs and the deep partnership we share with our families and community.”

In addition to letter grades, the Arizona Department of Education scored schools via a complex point system.

With a dazzling 99.14 points out of 100 total, Scottsdale’s Desert Mountain High School topped 233 high schools in the state – repeating its top spot after finishing No. 1 last year.
