At MasteryPrep, we believe college and career readiness shouldn’t depend on ZIP code. From the ACT and SAT to state accountability assessments, our approach remains consistent: Start early. Build true mastery. Support educators. Create equitable access. This founder story captures the “why” behind everything we do: 👉 https://lnkd.in/eYKVxGUy

For me, MasteryPrep started with a simple realization. When I first began tutoring, I noticed that most students weren’t struggling on high-stakes tests because they “forgot” the content, but because they’d never truly mastered the underlying skills in the first place. That idea shaped everything we built at MasteryPrep. From the beginning, we’ve focused on helping schools create equitable access to readiness support so all students can build the confidence they need to succeed on test day. Over the years, that mission has evolved from a handful of ACT offerings into a full suite of solutions now used by more than 3,000 schools and districts nationwide. 🚀 But the core philosophy hasn’t changed: slow down, build mastery, and support both students and educators along the way. This new blog post reflects on that journey, from early tutoring sessions to where we are today. Read the story here: https://bit.ly/3RmzjZK

How do you build a culture of ACT readiness across seven high schools? 🤔 For Alabama’s Cullman County Schools, the process started with a successful MasteryPrep for the ACT pilot at Holly Pond High School during the 2023–24 school year. “Once we saw the results at Holly Pond, both in student confidence and in scores, we knew it was worth expanding,” says Kim Lindsey, Secondary Curriculum Coordinator. Since Cullman scaled districtwide: 📈 The percentage of students meeting benchmarks in Reading rose by 5 points 📈 That figure for ELA increased by 6 percentage points 📈 Math and Science readiness each climbed 2 percentage points The district’s full rollout combined live instruction, curriculum, practice testing, and digital tools, all designed to support long-term college readiness—not just short-term test prep.
