"Miami Jackson Senior High School has seen excellent outcomes in our Biology End-of-Course Exam results, and I feel that the use of Penda has contributed to student success. At a training, myself and our science coach were introduced to Penda Learning and felt the program could take us to the next level. We introduced the idea to our Principal and saw significant results with our students moving from a 42% passing rate to 54% passing rate. This year, we were introduced to a more rigorous Biology End-of-Course Exam and we knew the stakes were higher, so we offered after school tutoring with Penda and we also used it during our pull-outs with an interventionist. We again saw significant results, because in an era of high stakes, every-changing test, and a significant increase in our ESOL population, we still had a passing rate of 56%. Students felt it played a key role in their passing the Biology End-of-Course Exam."
