SBE is required to provide each school district with each student's statewide assessment scores and the statewide assessment scores for the school, district, county and state.

The school district is required to provide a parent or guardian of each student with a copy of the student's scores on the statewide assessment and the associated scores for the school, district, county and state. The school district must make those scores for each school in the district and for the school district, county, state and nation available to the public.

Any testing window established and executed by ADE or SBE for the administration of the statewide assessment must ensure that LEAs receive test scores and assessment data from the third-grade reading portion of the statewide assessment on or before May 15 of each academic year and the scores and assessment data from all other portions of the statewide assessment received on or before May 25 of each academic year.

ADE, subject to review and approval by SBE, may adjust the testing window for the statewide assessment in academic years that SBE is revising current proficiency levels or establishing new proficiency levels for the statewide assessment (A.R.S. § 15-743).
