ONE RESULT
“I wanted you to know that 71% of the students at Miller Academy in San Antonio ISD scored a 3 or 4 on their TAKS composition.” Their CIC, Amber Pena, attributes this success to the one-day training Abydos gave.
They had nineteen 3s and three 4s out of 31 fourth graders. In 2007, they had seven 3s and one 4 in fourth grade. “Abydos is tried and true!! Thank you!"
