Message from Principal Stephanie Gounder

At YES Prep Brays Oaks, we take pride in the accomplishments of our students and staff. We’ve worked hard over the last 11 years to build a culture where all students are held to high and consistent expectations, have the opportunity to leverage their voice, and achieve at the highest levels possible. Due to hard work and a committed teaching staff, we’ve seen strong student achievement growth on STAAR tests, AP exams, and reading fluency over the years. Our students participate in diverse course offerings (Gardening, Digital Media, AP Psychology, and Dance to name a few), have access to 11 AP courses, and lead strong student organizations. Our alumni have matriculated to fine institutions including Vanderbilt University, Johns Hopkins University, Boston University, and Wellesley College. We strive to be a school that students, parents, and community members are proud of, and we invite you to see us in action.

En YES Prep Brays Oaks, pensamos en los logros de nuestros estudiantes y personal con orgullo. Hemos trabajado duro durante los últimos 11 años para desarrollar una cultura en la que todos los estudiantes tengan expectativas altas y consistentes, tengan la oportunidad de usar su voz y lograr los niveles más altos posibles. Debido al trabajo arduo de los maestros y el personal, hemos visto un gran crecimiento del rendimiento estudiantil en las pruebas STAAR, los exámenes AP y la fluidez de lectura a lo largo de los años. Nuestros estudiantes participan en ofertas de cursos diversas (jardinería, medios digitales, psicología AP y baile, para nombrar algunos), tienen acceso a 11 cursos AP y dirigen organizaciones estudiantiles sólidas. Nuestros alumnos se han matriculado en instituciones excelentes, como la Universidad Vanderbilt, la Universidad Johns Hopkins, la Universidad de Boston y el Colegio Wellesley. Nos esforzamos por ser una escuela de la que los estudiantes, padres, y miembros de la comunidad estén orgullosos, y los invitamos a vernos en acción.
