In October, Johns Hopkins Center for Talented Youth held its awards ceremony to honor the achievements of area students scoring with high honors last spring on the SAT, ACT, or SCAT tests. SCDS students participate in the Johns Hopkins program on a completely voluntary and individual basis. The threshold for "high honors" is on a continuum beginning at 2nd grade and concluding in 8th grade with a required score of 600 on both critical reading and mathematics. 8th grader Vikram Dhawan achieved a 1st place ranking both state-wide and nationally in mathematics. Other SCDS students placing highly over all for Washington State include:
Lucy Johnson (7), 1st place, critical reading
Zeb Burke-Conte (6), 2nd place, mathematics
Max Davis (5), 1st place verbal, 2nd place quantitative
Ryan Ressmeyer (5) 2nd place verbal
In all, 30 SCDS students qualified for the CTY Awards Ceremony, with participants from grades 2, 3, 5, 6, 7, and 8.
