Shepherd awarded letter grade of A!

The Arizona Department of Education released 2022-23 school letter grades on October 27, 2023.  We are pleased to announce that Shepherd Junior High received an A. Way to go, Stallions!

This letter grade indicates we are a high-performing school. We are proud of the hard work of our students, families, staff and community that contributed to this success. At Shepherd, we remain focused on student achievement and will continue to:

• Focus on increased rigor for all students

• AVID strategies surrounding WICOR

School letter grades are determined primarily by student growth and proficiency on the state assessment tests.   Watch this video to learn more about how letter grades are determined. Shepherd and our district are committed to continuous improvement and student success. Thank you for partnering with us in your child’s educational journey.
