Brainly Ranks Best High Schools in the U.S. by SAT/ACT Scores

The world's largest peer-to-peer learning community, Brainly, has analyzed all available data from state governments to create a ranking of the top 10 best public high schools in the U.S. by test scores. As there is no federal, nationwide test for high-school students, this study examines the results of the College Board's SAT and the nonprofit ACT across the United States. The results are in:

● Thomas Jefferson High School for Science and Technology in Alexandria, Virginia, ranks first for average SAT scores in the country.
● Davidson Academy in Reno, Nevada, ranks first for average ACT scores in the country.

Brainly has also found the best schools for test scores in each state. This study of all available data was conducted by looking at the average composite scores for all public high schools that tested more than 10 students. Maine, Hawaii, Alaska, Oregon, West Virginia and Washington were unable to provide data for either SAT or ACT scores. Many states only collected either ACT or SAT data, with only a few states — Texas, California, Ohio, Indiana, Pennsylvania, Georgia, Maryland, Michigan, North Carolina, South Carolina and Florida — collecting data for both tests. The research also points out some schools that didn't do so great and should still work on improving their examination scores.

TGA Premier Sports Shakes Up Franchise Model to Bolster Youth Sports Participation, Increase Opportunities for Entrepreneurs

With an innovative approach to growing youth sports participation, TGA Premier Sports(TGA) has become one of the nation's most steadily-impactful developers of community-based sports and enrichment programs for kids ages five to 13.

On pace to enroll its one-millionth participant (since launching in 2003) by 2020, TGA has completed a new franchise restructuring model bringing all eight of its youth sports programs under one umbrella. This will now allow entrepreneurs the flexibility to choose one sport or multiple sports under their franchise, which will create more franchise opportunities and increase youth sports participation nationwide.

TGA is the youth sports delivery system many communities and schools never realized they needed. Its innovative before- and after-school enrichment programs and local sports camps combine developmental golf, tennis and an array of team sports skills with PhD-developed educational lessons. Kids' engagement in these programs is helping reverse trends of declining youth sports participation in markets across the country.

Research by the Aspen Institute's Project Play states that active kids are less likely to be obese, perform better in school and on standardized test scores, as well as improved confidence and higher self-esteem. Despite that data, "Non-School Sports" (little league) has been on a two-percent-per-year decline since 2002. In that same era, TGA has expanded into 75 markets across 28 states by giving entrepreneurs who are passionate about sports, youth and their community the opportunity to own sports franchises.

TGA empowers its franchise owners to bring a "Changing Lives Through Sports" mantra into their local communities and, recently, TGA's business model underwent some internal restructuring that now allows entrepreneurs to own any combination of sports that best suits their business plan and best serves the needs of the local community.

"By bringing our introductory programs directly into schools and community centers, we've removed barriers-to-entry for kids who want to play sports in their communities and now we're taking a similar approach to support our franchise owners who've put down roots in these same communities," TGA CEO Joshua Jacobs says. "A TGA territory owner now has more flexibility to own any combination of TGA sports franchises. We've made that process more achievable from a financial standpoint and a greater value proposition."

Jacobs adds that in order to be successful, youth sports programs should consider being "self-sustaining, scalable and replicable." To that end, TGA execs listen closely to feedback from their franchise owners as the TGA franchise model evolves to provide programming that is tuned in to each community's needs and cultural tendencies toward certain sports. TGA built its brand with breakthrough golf programs and expanded to offer a tennis curriculum starting in 2011. Team Sports is TGA's newest endeavor with Cheerleading, Flag Football, Floor Hockey, Lacrosse, Ultimate, and Volleyball opportunities now available and future sports to come.

"We wanted our franchise owners to have the ability to customize their 'youth sports delivery system' in a way that aligns with their passions, their business goals and the demand for specific sports in their community. With being able to pick and choose sports based on certain regional or cultural nuances, or voids in their market, our business owners can now better serve their communities by offering additional sports programs or expanding out geographically," Jacobs says.

One successful TGA franchisee who has bought into offering multiple sports is Brad Kirkpatrick, owner/territory director of TGA of Greater Seattle.

"The dynamic nature of TGA's curriculum and business model have helped me grow my business into an easy sell for schools, parks and recreation departments and, especially, parents," Kirkpatrick says. "Even as a former middle school basketball coach and low-single-digit golfer, I never imagined a career in youth sports, but TGA empowers growth and affords me the kind of work-life balance I didn't have during my years working in the financial sector."

Now poised for greater growth, TGA recently completed a $750,000 curriculum and business infrastructure investment to streamline operations across its eight sports. The investment helps facilitate franchise growth and lays the foundation for future expansion strategies across the TGA system including 50-75 new franchises and increasing the number of programs from 7,200 to 15,000 by 2021.

National Women’s Political Caucus Taking to the Streets in St. Louis, Missouri to Protest Abortion Ban

Last week, Missouri was set to become the first state without a single abortion clinic until a St. Louis judge blocked the closing of the clinic. The National Women's Political Caucus (NWPC) is taking to the streets of St. Louis, Missouri to protest these attacks on reproductive freedom. Missouri still only has one clinic and we will gather to amplify women's voices and protect access to legal and safe abortions.

From July 19th to the 21st the Caucus is hosting its 24th Biennial Convention in St. Louis, which will include an outdoor protest, as well as luncheons and receptions honoring pro-choice women elected officials and candidates.

While Missouri and other states represent a terrifying turn of action, Roe v. Wade remains the law of the land and NWPC stands steadfastly by a women's right to choose. "Since 1971, the NWPC has worked to recruit, train, and elect pro-choice women to political office because a woman's right to choose is essential to a healthy and equal society," said Donna Lent, National President, NWPC.

"We welcome everyone to join us in Missouri this July," continued Lent. "The Convention provides a unique opportunity to galvanize support for choice and equality. The time is now to join forces and show the power of women to create equality for all by focusing on reproductive freedom and rights."

The NWPC will also host a candidate training session during their time in St. Louis to support pro-choice women who are interested in running for office at the local, state, and national level. "We need more women at the table," said Cathy Allen, Vice-President of Education and Training, NWPC. "By giving women the tools they need to run for office and win, we will be better equipped to ensure a woman's right to choose across the country." To learn more about the convention and NWPC visit http://www.nwpc.org. Be alert to the latest news.

The NWPC, founded in 1971, was the first national, multi-partisan, grassroots membership organization dedicated to identifying, recruiting, training and supporting women candidates for elected and appointed office.

New App Creates Brand Gamification via Customized Rewards-Based Puzzle Contests

Concept & Innovation Group is launching CosumerBreak® in Fall 2019, to be available for free for iOS+Android devices on the App Store and Google Play. The company is also now crowdfunding on Indiegogo (30% funded in first 48 hours) where for a limited time they are offering special discounts, trials and other perks.

When brand audiences (fans, patrons, customers, leads, etc.) play the games by solving puzzles, they interact and engage with content for prolonged periods which increases branding recall and awareness, while also generating social buzz through the competitive and rewards-based model. To demonstrate a real ConsumerBreak® contest in action, the company is awarding 5% of the raised Indiegogo funds to the top 20% fastest scores - currently playable on the iOS prototype that is available on the App Store. The contest and Indiegogo campaign will end on July 2. Read related news here.

Key benefits of ConsumerBreak® include:

"Players study and attempt to memorize the images in order to solve the puzzles faster and increase their chance of winning prizes by ranking higher on a leaderboard," said CEO Natanel Eisenberg. "From announcing deals and promotions to showcasing products to branding a campaign or slogan, paired with custom audio that is heard during gameplay, the marketing messages stay in consumers' minds long after the contest is finished. This motivates purchases, influences calls-to-action, builds brand loyalty, and educates audiences in a fun way."

Everyday consumers can also be excited for the launch, as C&I Group will be offering cash prizes for a number of public contests throughout the remainder of 2019. $100 will be awarded weekly for a 15-puzzle game, $20 will be awarded for a daily puzzle that takes just one minute to complete, and other games will award larger prizes that require a minimum amount of plays to finish. Prize pots will be divided among the fastest players in any given contest as well as some random pick drawings.

Sponsored contests may award any number of prizes and rewards to entice audiences to play including merchandise, services, products & gift cards, coupons & discounts, and more. Contests may be publicly displayed in the app Home screen where all users can enter, or can be restricted to a password access or a direct link to the game that sponsoring brands can distribute to their audience or in-venue. Be alert to the latest news.

"This is really just the beginning," said Andrew Boller, the company's COO & CFO. "After we run through a few months of contests and have more data to analyze we can begin to expand and offer more options for brands and more features for users. We're already working with some local breweries to get a contest going inside their venues. Delicious food and beer on the puzzles, where you compete to win some of that food and beer right from your phone! What more could you want in a new pub game?!"

Concept & Innovation Group is self funded and shares a persevering story on their Indiegogo page that spans back eight years.
