Seven students from Alton Elementary School have been accepted as Duke University Talent Identification Program (Duke TIP) scholars.
The students (left to right) are: Kevin Salais, Keyla Del Angel, Denally Escalona, Noe Pena, America Martinez, Nahomy De La Cruz, Jesus Colin. Not pictured is Brandan McGee.
These students have attained qualifying test scores by scoring in the 95th percentile or higher on a grade-level standardized achievement test, aptitude test, mental-ability test, approved state criterion-reference test, or 125 or above on an IQ test.
Participation in the 4th-6th grade talent search provides students with exciting, stimulating, and challenging opportunities through online lessons, publications, contests, the Duke TIP Book Club, and an optional above-level testing experience through the EXPLORE test. Eligibility for enrollment is an honor and indicates outstanding intellectual ability.
