Why Latinx?

As we shared last year in our blog titled “Hispanic vs. Latinos vs. Latinx Explained”, there is a difference between each terminology. Hispanic began to be used in the United States after the need to distinguish Latin American immigrants from the white classification arose. Latino is used as an alternative to Hispanic but in recent years the term Latinx has gained popularity. Replacing the feminine and masculine ending of Latina and Latino for the gender-neutral or non-binary term pushes back the gendered language to be more inclusive.

For this reason, YES Prep is proud to also adopt this term moving forward in order to be more inclusive of all people.

Common Assessments

October 11 - 13

What are Common Assessments?

YES Prep administers common assessments to monitor progress in students’ coursework and college readiness. These assessments also furnish important information about students’ progress and help YES Prep staff better support students in their journey to college.

Key Word:

• Assessments = Tests
