Improving Academic Performance

This time of year is a busy one for high school students. 
  • Freshmen have started their high school journey and are learning how to handle higher-level classes. 
  • Sophomores are making their first forays into the world of APs. 
  • Many juniors are beginning to prepare for their SAT/ACT tests, maintain their current GPAs, compile their college lists, and deepen their involvement in clubs, sports, or service. 
  • And seniors are eyeing their checklist, seeking out those teacher recommendations, and polishing their college essays, not to mention making sure they finish their senior fall classes on a high note.
