Congratulations to Katrina (grade 8) and Jakob (grade 6) F., both earned High Honors on the 2014 Johns Hopkins Talent Search testing. More than 38,000 outstanding students from the U.S. and abroad take this above-grade-level test. From this select group, less than thirty percent of the students who enter the Talent Search achieve test scores at this level. Jakob who presently is in the 6th Grade, scored in the 95th percentile in Verbal Ability compared to 8th graders. Katrina, who presently is in the 8th Grade, scored in the 99th percentile in Verbal ability and 96th percentile in Math ability compared to 12th graders.
Both Katrina and Jakob will receive High Honor awards at the state level in the Spring. Katrina’s scores, which were in the top 3% in the world, was also acknowledged at the Grand Ceremony, which took place at the Johns Hopkins University campus in Maryland on October 19, 2014. This is the second consecutive year Katrina has received the Grand Ceremony invitation.
