A. b - 3
B. b - 2

E. b + 2
Made you think, right? Well, in C-FB, our students are excelling at this type of question.
C-FB seniors taking the Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT) and the American College Test (ACT) in 2012 out-performed students taking the exam throughout the state.
The overall composite score of 22.1 for C-FB ISD seniors taking the ACT in 2012 was higher than both the state (20.8) and the national (21.1) scores. The district combined score for 2012 on the SAT is 1476 compared to 1434 for the state.
You might ask why college entrance exams are important. The SAT and ACT are like a barometer of success for college readiness. C-FB students are choosing to attend college at Harvard, Princeton, Yale, Cornell, West Point, University of Texas, Texas A&M, and other prestigious universities. Scores on the SAT and ACT are an important aspect of college admittance. High scores show that our students are college-ready with such skills as problem-solving, mathematical reasoning and literary comprehension.
I am so proud of the hard work of our students and staff but we have more work to do. Our district is focused on high achievement for all students including college readiness. We will continue to prepare and equip our students with college readiness skills.
