Giving students a sense of acceptance and gratitude when it comes to their academics and be aware that not all students will have the capability to be at the top.

Provide more test prep resources to students across state (virtually and in school). Offer ACT prep classes, have teachers (eg. math) incorporate test prep into lessons, purchase ACT prep books for students, etc.

-Implementing initiation for ACT testing; -More distribution of funding for ACT prep.

# data[].attributes.body
With many schools transitioning to online work and testing, it is essential that the funding for technology in each district be raised. Allowing for each student to have a device on which they can complete their work is essential in the school environment. This would also allow for the problem of “lack of resources for several issues” to be solved more easily. (Ex: ACT/PSAT Prep, scholarships, etc.)

# data[].attributes.body
Another problem we are facing is counselors not being trained enough to hear kid’s problems and help solve them. We feel as if there should be better training or a position being for a professionally trained counselor.

# data[].attributes.body
These are ways schools could help combat the issue of mental health and deal with mental health on schools. The importance of destigmatization of mental health is very important.

-Mental Health Counselors (on-ground) to assist students in navigating high school and life.
-Students need a judge-free zone to communicate.

# data[].attributes.body
Counselor training/ration: A lot of students do not know who to turn to. A lot counselors that are at our schools either do not have the sufficient training to deal with the problems students face and also there are way too many students to one counselor for enough focus on solving an issue a student might have. Also, counselors contacting student’s parents after talking to a student jeopardizes student safe.

# data[].attributes.body
Most students aren't prepared for tests like ACT and state exams. At some schools, they focus more on preparing students for state exams and then they aren't prepared to take the ACT test.
