Last February, 11 students from 11th and 12th grades were participating in the AMM (American Math Competition) at Colegio Bilingue New Horizons. The American Mathematics Competitions are a series of examinations and curriculum materials that build problem-solving skills and mathematical knowledge in middle and high school students.
We have received the summary statistics for our school with the following results:
- As a school, the mean score was higher than the mean score of everyone that took the test in the DR. The percentile cutoff scores are also higher than the country (Ashton School mean-43.2, RD mean-41.4, Ashton School top 5% score-72, DR top 5% score-60).
- Two students from Ashton School obtained the highest rankings at that grade level in the country: Sergio Moya ( highest score in the country) and Arturo Camarena second highest).
I consider this an achievement for both the school and the students, and suggest it be shared with the community (newsletter, Back to School Night). It is a good opportunity to motivative other students and recognize the effort of these two students.
