This year we had a total of 15 seventh grade
students take either the SAT or ACT through the Duke University Talent
Identification Program. These are the same tests that high school
students are given. Of these 15 students, 11 received at least one form of recognition.
7 students qualify for State Recognition and 1 student qualified for Grand Recognition.
This is the largest group of students to be recognized in recent
years. It is also only the 2nd time we have had a student
qualify for Grand Recognition since 2007. Our previous Grand Recognition student graduated last year.
Based on their scores, 6 of these students were invited either to
attend the Academy of Summer Studies and 5 to the Center for Summer Studies. You did not have to receive State or Grand
Recognition to get those invitations, but it does
indicate they did well on the test.
Students that are receiving State Recognition
scored at or above the national average of high school graduates on at
least one part of the ACT or SAT and are invited to a special
recognition ceremony held at a university in Texas. In the
past this has been Lamar University.
Grand Recognition indicates the student scored at
or better than 90% of high school graduates on at least one part of the
ACT or SAT and are invited to a special recognition ceremony at Duke
University.
