Fourteen BISD Students Recognized in Duke University Talent Identification Program

Duke TIP is a nonprofit organization dedicated to serving academically gifted and talented students. Duke TIP works with students, their families, and educators to identify, recognize, challenge, engage, and help students reach their highest potential. Now in its thirty-eighth 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. The following BISD students participated this year:

State Recognition honorees have scored approximately at or above the national average of recent high school graduates on at least one part of the ACT or the SAT as seventh-graders. These students have been invited to a special recognition ceremony held at Texas Christian University on May 14 at 5 p.m.
