"If you are looking for a program that delivers measurable score results while genuinely inspiring students, OnToCollege is the gold standard.

Choosing the right partner for college readiness is one of the most impactful decisions a school can make, and OnToCollege, led by the incomparable John Baylor, has proven to be a game-changer for ALL our students.

The most immediate impact we see is in the data. OnToCollege provides a proven system that has consistently helped our students jump their ACT scores by significant margins. These point increases aren't just numbers on a page; they improve scholarships, teacher morale, community pride, our school's image, and life for us– the school leaders.

What makes this program particularly effective is its unmatched flexibility. The digital platform allows students to easily engage with high-quality test prep materials on their own time, at home, or integrated directly into our school day.

OnToCollege builds a level of confidence and focus that truly empowers students. We couldn't ask for a better system to help our students reach their full potential."

"Results from AQuESTT data in 22-23 showcase that two out of three juniors at Cozad Community Schools did not meet minimum proficiency on the ACT (66.36%). Two short years later, the trend is reversed, and nearly two out of three juniors meet the proficiency threshold (down to 37.00% not meeting it).

Minimum proficiency is only part of this success story. The ACT Mean Composite score for juniors in 22-23 was 17.9; by 24-25, that number skyrocketed to 20.1.

While there are always variables to consider, the obvious change was the full implementation of OnToCollege and the ACT Test Prep Program through John Baylor. Indeed, Cozad is all about helping students find success on the ACT, and OnToCollege is our path forward!"

"For the past 10 years, Lakeview Schools has proudly partnered with John Baylor and OnToCollege to provide our students with exceptional ACT preparation.

Through the PreACT and ACT course work at our high school, we have seen consistent, measurable success. Students who fully engage in the OnToCollege program have never scored below a 20 on the ACT — a remarkable testament to the effectiveness of the curriculum and instruction.

Even more impressive, last year's valedictorian and salutatorian both earned ACT scores of 30 or higher."
