Our School Partnership Program attempts to raise an entire High School's average ACT score nearly as much as BTP raises individual scores on average: more than two points. In the last year alone, Falls City and Yutan High Schools have earned their highest school average ACT score in more than twenty years, while Centennial High School Seniors raised their scores three points on average.
Methodology:
- We teach the entire BTP ACT-Prep program to all college-bound ACT test taking Juniors in the spring before the February, April, or June ACT or in the fall before the October or December ACT. Classes typically meet during the school day in seven, 90-minute (double-period) segments. We then return in the fall of the senior year for a refresher class before the October test with the same students, now seniors.
- College bound Sophomores can also be included. Why?
- Sophomores can handle much of the test content already.
- The earlier students learn about the importance of college and the admissions process, the more sound their approach to their entire education and extra-curricular pursuits.
Junior year: seven, ninety-minute classes or five two-hour-fifteen-minute classes. However, the exact class times can be tailored to best fit the school's schedule.
Senior fall: one, ninety-minute refresher class with the same students prior to the October ACT.
Though raising the school's average ACT is the primary goal, the School Partnership Program has many more:
- A school-wide two-point ACT increase within two years.
- Helping foster a future-focused school culture with post-secondary education as the preferred goal.
- Demystifying the ACT and the entire college application process in the tenth grade, inspiring a more sound approach to their entire educational and extra-curricular pursuits. We want to help inspire students to be more interested in learning.
- Higher individual scores, better college choices, and more financial aid for all students.
Cost: TBD.
