The Arizona Board of Education unanimously voted to change Fountain Hills High School’s 2022-23 letter grade of “B” to “A.”
In November, Fountain Hills Unified School District (FHUSD) Superintendent Dr. Cain Jagodzinski appealed the “B” letter grade given to Fountain Hills High School (FHHS). The state Board unanimously approved the appeal on Monday, Dec. 4.
The Board of Education describes “A” as excellent and “B” as highly performing. The state awarded the higher letter grade to FHHS because Jagodzinski was able to prove that the graduation rate in 2021-22 was better than the 79.5% rate the state initially calculated.
