AzM2 Testing InformationAzM2 is a computer-based test and is Arizona’s statewide achievement test. AzM2, which is based on more rigorous standards, provides a better indicator of what students have learned during the school year.

Students in Grades 4, 8, and high school will take the AIMS Science test on a date in Spring of 2020 to be determined. That date will be listed on this web page.
AzM2 ReportsAzM2 Family Score Reports were distributed this fall to students who took the AzM2 English Language Arts and Math assessments last Spring. The test is designed to be a tool for parents, teachers and students to tell us if your child is on track to succeed in his current grade and in the future. You can use your child’s AzM2 scores along with classroom assignments, homework, grades, and your conversations with his or her teachers to have a complete picture of how your child is doing.
We hope you’ll find the following information helpful as you review your AzM2 Family Score Reports. Please contact your child’s teachers to talk through the results and how you can work together to increase your child's success.
What should you take away from this report?
- This AzM2 score report helps you understand your child’s academic achievement. You can see how your child is performing in comparison to peers in the same grade level, school, and district. In addition to giving you an overall score, the report also breaks down each subject into categories to provide you with a better understanding of how your child performed in different areas of math and English.
