“First Graduate helped me get into a great high school. They prepared me to take the SSAT to see if I could get a scholarship to get into Bay School [an independent school]. I took the test twice because the first time I didn’t do so well, but I studied harder and the second time I took it I did a lot better. When I got accepted to Bay School, I was really happy because I didn’t think I could make it but I did.”

Josselyn, 9th grader
