I have strong hope that there will be further increases with our teacher training for the schools.” |
"After four weeks of alongside the curriculum and after school ACT preparation, one freshman student’s score improved from a 19 to a 27. Without the GEAR UP ACT program, this student would not have developed the confidence in her ability to aspire to a higher level." |
