FROM STUDENTS AT SOQUEL HIGH This April, Soquel High, as well as all other schools across the county,begin taking the STAR Test. Most students are not aware of how theirstar test scores effect Soquel High and they do not know that poor testscores have a negative impact at Soquel High. The truth is, STAR testscores do matter! Bad test scores could mean losing all electives andextracurricular activities, which include all school sports and classessuch as ceramics, ROP courses, and band. In turn, these classes wouldbe replaced, and each student would be required to take two math andtwo science classes. Poor STAR tests also mean that, if the school wereto fail, Soquel’s rank would go down, making it harder for our studentsto get into big name colleges and making the houses surrounding theschool have less value. Please encourage your students to treatthese tests seriously and give them their best effort. Thanks!
