The Issue No free preparation course Most students take the standardized tests Preparation courses  $$

Student Survey Results 98%  SAT’s 84%  preparation course 44%  private tutor 70%  unhappy with scores

Preparation Course Prices Andover  $1149-$1195 Kaplan  $899 Princeton Review  $1199 Carnegie & Pollack  $1600 Average Private Tutor  $800-$1200

Worth the Price? NACAC - National Association for College Admission Counseling –Study  scores don’t increase significantly

Original Solution SAT/ACT preparation in the curriculum One semester of junior year  no gym Specific preparation teachers hired

Creating the Course Approved by Board of Education Paid  school budget/taxes

Issues School budget –$68,153,650  Would the school hire an additional teacher? Teachers must be educated to teach the course

Final Solution After school program Volunteer tutors –Teachers/Seniors ¾ teachers asked were willing to volunteer to teach this course
