At regular high school I never could get my work done on time and the teachers always made me feel dumber then I actually am. I like New Hope because it actually gives me a chance to succeed in life. Teachers are encouraging and helpful. I love New Hope!

New Hope is a school that gives students another chance to earn a degree, or help complete courses they need while attending another high school. It's self-paced and the teachers are always there to help. Courses can be completed in half the time, yet meets the state requirements. This school, however, is not for everyone. Careful consideration should be taken. But the school overall is fantastic, and as the name implies, gives a new hope to those wishing to earn their high school diploma.

About the tests

In 2010-2011, the Texas Assessment of Knowledge and Skills (TAKS) was used to test students in reading in grades 3 through 9; in writing in grades 4 and 7; in English language arts in grades 10 and 11; in mathematics in grades 3 through 11; in science in grades 5, 8, 10 and 11; and in social studies in grades 8, 10 and 11. TAKS is a standards-based test, which means it measures how well students are mastering specific skills defined for each grade by the state of Texas. The grade 11 Exit Level TAKS is a high school graduation requirement. The goal is for all students to score at or above the state standard.
