Annual Education Reports
The Annual Education Report (AER) provides key information about the educational progress on the complex reporting of information required by federal and state laws. The reports contain information about student assessment, accountability and teacher quality. We have three AERs available to parents and the community. Below is a list of each school with a link to its AER letter and data.
