The first progress reports for Spring Semester have come out, leaving some scholars satisfied with their grades, while others were not. Grades are important at Preuss since they are what colleges see on transcripts and are a big factor to keeping a scholar’s college application competitive.

Although maintaining exceptional grades can be challenging, there are many effective ways to get and maintain them.
