Bios Christian Academy ACT and SAT Scores

First, on August 19th came the headline “ACT Study Shows Students Unprepared.” A week later “High School SAT Scores Slip.” Both articles were reported in the Wall Street Journal. ACT reported that only “23% of this year’s high school graduates had scores that indicated they were ready for college in all four ACT subject areas, or had at least a 75% chance of earning a grade of C or better in entry-level courses.” And the news from the SAT college-entrance exam was that the performance of high school students on the SAT college-entrance exam fell a little.

This is sad news. Less than one fourth of our high school students nationwide can expect to earn a grade of C or better in even entry-level courses.

While we have had no ACT or SAT scores from students attending Bios yet, the scores from our first start, Surrey Garden Christian were three points above Arizona’s average from the SAT and four points above for ACT. And there is no reason to believe our results will not be the same or higher at Bios. Clear individual goals, intelligent and skilled teachers, and hard work almost always provide success in learning and school.
