"Thank you AIMS! Five years ago, I needed help to raise our state (Texas) test scores in science. With AIMS State-Specific Science curriculum, the scores rose each year. This year's students (2010) were amazing. They really struggled with the fall semester benchmark, but 100% passed and 91% commended. And they loved science!"

–Pam Stryker, Eanes ISD Texas
