Success Stories Solid Ground Produces Solid Grades Before coming to Boys and Girls Country, Robert had been to nine different schools by the time he was in 7th grade. He was described as intelligent but was not in school long enough to develop solid grades. Today Robert is 15 years old and will be a sophomore at Waller High School this fall. In the two years Robert has been at Boys and Girls Country, he is one of ten children on our campus to have straight A’s. He earned extra credit by taking advanced level courses and at the end of this past school year held a 5.1 GPA. Robert is the eldest of three boys; his brothers also live at Boys and Girls Country and are also on the straight A list! Without you, Robert and his brothers would still be moving from school to school. Thank you!
