Every student in grades 9-11 participates in the Ray Dass SARA program. Ray Dass partners with schools nationwide to help students improve their college-readiness and increase their achievement test scores, which will increase their acceptances to their top college choices and opportunities for scholarships. SARA is a content-based online program that is aligned to the PSAT, SAT, and ACT. It is designed to support and add to our already rigorous curriculum with instructional modules in the areas of reading, writing, and math. SARA teaches the students content and provides opportunities for practice so that students become more comfortable with the materials and questions they will see in school and on the standardized exams. Students are expected to spend approximately 60 minutes each week to work on and master the skills in the modules. To help support our students in this endeavor, their first part of each block study hall period is dedicated to their work on SARA.
