Local elementary schools may have fared poorly on the math portion of the Arizona Instrument Measuring Standards (AIMS) test this past year, but they were by no means the only schools whose scores suffered. Today, the Miner looks at how local middle schools did, and the results are, unfortunately, much the same.

Statewide, the percentage of children who either met or exceeded the state math standards for sixth, seventh and eighth grade fell to 56, 57, and 56 percent, respectively - each marking a decline of 7 percent or more from 2009.
