Peach Springs Unified School District Receives Approved Letter Grade Appeal for Music Mountain Junior High
Peach Springs, Arizona — February 26, 2026
Peach Springs Unified School District is proud to announce that the Arizona State Board of Education has officially approved the District’s letter grade appeal, resulting in a “C” letter grade for Music Mountain’s junior high outcomes (grades 7–8) for the 2024–2025 school year.
This milestone reflects the hard work, determination, and collective commitment of our students, staff, and families. The approved appeal recognizes measurable academic growth and reinforces the District’s ongoing focus on continuous improvement and student success.
“This outcome represents the dedication happening in our classrooms every single day,” district leadership shared. “Our students are putting in the effort, our staff remains committed to supporting them, and our families continue to partner with us in meaningful ways. We are proud of this progress.”
While accountability ratings are only one measure of school performance, they provide important feedback on academic growth and achievement. The approved appeal confirms that the work taking place at Music Mountain Junior High is making a positive impact.
District-Wide Momentum
To our Peach Springs Elementary (K–6) and Music Mountain Senior High (9–12) students: your dedication is seen and appreciated across our community. Growth is happening at every level.
It is not a question of whether it can be done — it is being done.
Looking Ahead: Spring State Assessments
Following Spring Break, students will have the next opportunity to demonstrate continued academic growth:
Science state assessments open in late March
English Language Arts (ELA) and Math assessments open in early April
Although our students are not defined solely by academic metrics, we remain committed to ensuring every student feels prepared, supported, and confident in demonstrating their knowledge and skills.
Peach Springs Unified School District remains focused on strengthening academic outcomes, building student confidence, and fostering a culture of continuous growth. We thank our students, staff, families, and community members for their ongoing support and partnership.
Together, the best is yet to come!
