Building Better Futures One Student at a Time
Bybee College Prep started as a research project for my master’s degree in Educational Leadership. Having worked with exceptional students for several years, I noticed that many of these very bright students weren’t doing as well on the PSAT as they could, so I set out to see what schools might be able to do differently.
That first Spring, 72 students participated in a one-session-a-week prep course for five weeks, and 55 of them took diagnostic tests to see the results. From my years of coaching, I knew students would play like they practice, so from the start I focused on students working with SAT®-formatted questions. The next Fall, that group of Juniors set a record for the largest number of National Merit Semifinalists in the district’s history and the group improved on comparable PSAT results an average of 19 points. The next year I expanded the course from 5 to 9 sessions, and that group of Juniors set another record for National Merit Semifinalists. The next year I worked with 80 students, and that group set another district record.
