What Is Academic UIL for Middle School?

• A+ Academics includes a diverse array of events—estimate about 20 different contests—designed to expand on classroom learning and cultivate skills like critical thinking and subject-area mastery
  
  

• Around 3,000 Texas schools participate in the program, hosting over 300–350 district-level meets each year
