60% of the Time It Works Every Time (but even better!)
We had our first out-of-class Blended Experience, and based on feedback, the students who opted to come to class had great success!

Of the two Junior Honors classes, I had 26% in-class attendance. And guess what? 100% of them said that their one-on-one time with Mrs. Schmitt was helpful!
