Congress’s public schools outscore 63% of Arizona districts

Math proficiency in Congress’s districts is 42%, above the Arizona average (35%). The grade covers the public school district serving Congress, from kindergarten through graduation, on state tests. Each state writes its own tests, so this is the one TownRatings grade compared within Arizona, not nationally.
