Six Texas school districts in Region One are partnering this year with the national non-profit CollegeSpring to support student achievement and college and career readiness at scale, providing every high school with in-school, teacher-led standardized test preparation. The participating districts are Edcouch-Elsa, La Villa, Lyford, Santa Maria, Santa Rosa, and Vanguard Academy. The partnership breaks down a critical barrier and will ensure that more students have access to tools that position them for post-secondary success. CollegeSpring is the only national nonprofit that provides in-school preparation on standardized tests to help first-generation students from low-income backgrounds unlock better college and career opportunities after high school. Founded in 2008, CollegeSpring has served more than 60,000 students across the country. Learn more: https://lnkd.in/gCc9Mimz
