Ready, Set, Smash the SAT

My students need ACT and SAT Prep materials to SMASH the achievement ceiling

Mrs. Miles South Atlanta High School

Atlanta, GA Grades 9-12

My Students

My students are bright, creative and curious about the world around them. They have dreams to become game designers, actors and even funeral home operators, but they live in an environment that is not kind to dreamers. At the southernmost tip of Atlanta, our school is nestled in the poorest zip code in the city. Ninety-five percent of my students receive free and reduced priced lunch and are economically disadvantaged. Furthermore, a growing number of our students are first generation immigrants just learning to speak English and many will be the first in their families to pursue college, if not the first to graduate high school.

My Project

Mastering the SAT and ACT are essential if you plan to get into a good college, but it takes more than good grades and a desire to excel. It takes planning, strategy and a good bit of help.

Good test preparation should be available to everyone, not just the wealthy.

Kids whose parents may have gone to college know the benefit of good prep and may pay for expensive prep courses and materials. Low-income kids will have to do the work themselves. A good study workshop and these books, such as "Up Your Score," and "Cracking the ACT," will help them on their way to mastering the SAT and ACT so they can walk into the testing room confident and get the score they need to make into the college of their choice.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
