Nearly two dozen of our Seventh Class students qualified to participate in the 2014 Duke University Talent Identification Program. Duke TIP is a nonprofit organization dedicated to serving academically gifted and talented students. The program works with students, their families and educators to identify, recognize, challenge and help students reach their highest potential. Now in its 34th year, the 7th Grade Talent Search identifies bright seventh graders based on standardized test scores achieved while attending elementary or middle school. Candidates are invited to take the ACT or the SAT college entrance exams as seventh graders, which allows them greater insight into their academic abilities. In addition, they gain valuable benefits and have access to unique resources for gifted students.
Two Academy students earned National Recognition, scoring at approximately the 90th percentile. Eleven others earned State Recognition by scoring at the 50th percentile. Congratulations to all who participated!
