One-on-one ACT coaching for Franklin High, Page High, Battle Ground Academy, and Franklin Classical students. Your student is more than that score.
You chose Franklin on purpose. You did the research. You looked at the school ratings, drove the neighborhoods, maybe even switched jobs or left a city you loved to get into Williamson County Schools. You moved here because you wanted your kids to have every advantage.
And now the ACT score came back. And it doesn't match the kid you know.
The kid who leads youth group. Who starts on the varsity team. Who works hard, loves Jesus, and has never had to struggle academically. The test came back at a 23 or a 25 — and everyone, including your student, is rattled.
Or maybe you've already been through prep. Did the course. Bought the book. Worked the practice portals. The practice scores were climbing. Then the real test came back, and it was eight points lower than anything you'd seen. You don't understand why. And now junior year is either here or coming fast, and you're wondering if you waited too long.
I've been doing this for 17 years. The last 5 have been right here in Williamson County. I've heard this story more times than I can count. And I want you to know: it's fixable. The test is a skill — not an IQ test, not a verdict on your child — and it can be learned.
Williamson County Schools is the #1 ACT-performing school district in Tennessee. The district average is 25.2 — compared to a state average of 19.3. That's not just good. That's the best in the state.
That's a great thing — and it also means your student is swimming in a high-performance environment. When a student at Franklin High scores a 23 and their friends are scoring 27–30, that gap is visible. On the sidelines. At church. At school. Your student feels it.
Tennessee's HOPE Scholarship requires a 21 ACT composite. It's worth $5,000+ per year at a Tennessee school. About 21% of WCS students miss that threshold. In a county where you moved for the schools, missing that number stings in ways that go beyond the money.
The most common college destinations for Franklin students: University of Tennessee, Auburn, Ole Miss, Alabama, Belmont, Lipscomb, and Samford. Vanderbilt is the aspirational reach. UT Knoxville is often the target — and a competitive ACT score opens real scholarship money there.
"He worked so hard and it just didn't show. That's what I kept saying. He's more than that number." — That's what every Franklin parent I've ever worked with has told me. And they're right.
Most prep programs have the same problems: tutors who know the test but were never trained to teach it, third-party materials that don't replicate the real ACT accurately, and no one ever addressing the mental side of walking into a high-stakes test.
I've spent 17 years learning exactly how the ACT is built — the patterns, the trap answers, the timing, the specific strategies that move scores. Every session is one-on-one. Every practice test is official material. And the mental game — how your student thinks about themselves under pressure — is something I work on as seriously as the content.
I've had students come in from Franklin High, Page High, Battle Ground Academy, and Christ Presbyterian Academy at a 19 and leave with a 30. I've had a student from Williamson County score a perfect 36. The results are on the testimonials page if you want to see them.
What I can't promise is a specific number. What I can promise is that your student will work with someone who is fully invested in them — not just their score.
