After two years of no letter grades from the Arizona Department of Education, the official letter grade scores for Marana Unified School District have been released.

Estes Elementary School received a "B" Letter Grade. A complete report of Marana Schools’ grades are posted on the District website.

“As the principal of this amazing school, I take great pride in our dedicated staff who work diligently to support the academic needs of your child. We will continue the emphasis on successful instructional practices and professional development to provide teachers with the tools and resources they need, especially to strengthen literacy and math competency. In addition to the assistance and nurturing you give to your child, we encourage you to continue to support your child's learning by making sure your child attends school daily, by following your child’s academic progress through ParentVue and communicating with your child’s teacher,” said Colleen Frederick, principal.

About ADE Letter Grades
On October 31, ADE released A-F School letter grades based on data from the 2021-22 school year. The Letter Grade system measures student proficiency and annual growth in key areas including English Language Arts, Math, Science, and literacy as well as readiness to transition to the next step in their education or career. Other factors such as performance on standardized tests, attendance, special education inclusion, college and career readiness reports, and high school graduation rates are included in the score.  

Estes Elementary Profile
All MUSD schools created custom profiles that provide families and the public with a snapshot of their school and include information on clubs, special classes, demographics, standardized testing grades, and more. Profiles are separate from ADE letter grades, however, they provide additional insight into each school’s culture, programs, and people.
