FOCUS Students Excel on the ACT as Seventh Graders

This year ten gifted GC-4 middle school students qualified to take the actual ACT given to college-bound seniors by scoring a 95% or better on one part of the MAP test last Spring. Their scores have arrived and a record five students will receive state recognition medals for scoring higher than half of last year’s national graduating class on at least one discipline.  These students are Jadyn Brooks, Ryan Cheluget, Imani Dyke, Jason Keleher and Anna Mott.

All of the GC-4 students who took the test scored an exceptional 16 or better on the composite score. Completing the list of young scholars are Kamia Echevarria, Tehya Frederick, Janet Garcia, Emily Long and Joy Rose.
This opportunity is offered as part of the Talent Identification Program sponsored by Duke University.  The Focus Department would like to thank Sheryl Malloy and the Board of Education for their financial support of this program. We are very proud of the way our students represented the GrandviewC4 School District!
