6 Things Every High School Needs This Year (That Your Staff Doesn’t Have Time to Build)

High schools are under more pressure than ever. Academic gaps persist. State metrics are public. Families are demanding better college access. And teachers are already stretched thin.

If your leadership team is mapping out support for students this year—especially around test prep, college readiness, and skill-building—these are the six solutions schools are turning to now to keep up without burning out.


1. AP Support That Doesn’t Rely on the Classroom Teacher

More AP classes mean more grading, more review, more pressure. But most teachers don’t have capacity to run after-school study groups or weekend bootcamps.

That’s why schools are running AP prep programs led by external instructors—focused on FRQ practice, pacing guides, and targeted skills aligned to College Board frameworks.


2. SAT/ACT Prep That Reaches More Than Just the Top 10%

Private tutoring is expensive. Online tools get ignored. And students who need help the most often don’t have access.

Districts are embedding SAT/ACT prep into afterschool and Saturday programs, reaching students where they already are—on campus, with trusted staff.


3. IB Coaching for Internal Assessments and Extended Essays

IB students juggle multiple deadlines, academic rigor, and unfamiliar formatting—often with minimal one-on-one support.

The most successful IB schools are bringing in external coaches to help with research, writing, and oral prep—without asking classroom teachers to take on more.


4. College Application Workshops That Start Before It’s Too Late

By October, seniors are overwhelmed. Personal statements. FAFSA. Letters. It piles up fast.

Schools that get ahead host application intensives, where students build resumes, write essays, and prep for interviews in a structured, supported space.


5. A Real Strategy for CAASPP & SBAC Success

Test prep isn’t just about review packets. It’s about identifying skill gaps early and targeting them with engaging, meaningful acceleration.

Schools are using data-informed enrichment blocks—after school or on Saturdays—to build skills that directly impact state test scores and graduation rates.


6. A Partner Who Can Actually Run It All

All of this sounds great—but who’s going to staff it, plan it, and make it happen?

That’s where turnkey solutions come in.
