The Full Story

The Shmooperstars of Seneca Senior High School in Seneca, South Carolina have officially earned their spot in Shmoop's Hall of Fame. See, in South Carolina, all juniors take the ACT (no pressure or anything). So, how do you prepare an entire junior class for one exam? 

Hello, Shmoop.

Seneca's first-time ACT-takers used Shmoop to prep for the exam, loading up on practice drills and exams in English and math. The two math teachers took it a step further, using Math Shack—Shmoop's mastery-based math game with infinite questions—to be sure their students picked up what they were putting down. "They and their students rave about Math Shack—that is definitely their favorite!" says Felicia LeRoy, Assistant Principal of Seneca Senior High.

But how about some hard stats? Well, after implementing Shmoop, Seneca's overall average composite ACT score went up 1.4% (in just one year) from 18.8 to 19.3. Seneca was also the #1 Shmooping High School in South Carolina at the start of 2016, with the most students enrolled in Shmoop in the entire state.

Ms. LeRoy concluded: "Thank you for providing us with such a quality test prep program—we love Shmoop!!!" Right back at ya.
