Gateway High School

Students of Strength is helping 11th graders at Gateway High School improve their SAT scores.

These students all want to go to college, and need to raise their SAT scores by about 200 points to get accepted. Their scores currently range from 910 to 950, and they are applying to schools that require an 1150. Students have committed not only to six weeks of tutoring, but to three hours of at-home studying per week to reach this goal. 

Sessions take place from 7:30am-3:20pm MT (9:30-5:20 EST). Students meet in the counseling office during off periods, and work one-on-one with their tutor.
