Duke University has identified Robbie Gates, the son of Tony and Leigh Ann Gates of Sweet Water High School, as a TIP student.
Some of the most academically talented seventh graders in the U.S. will be recognized this spring for their exceptional scores on the ACT.
The Duke University Talent Identification Program's (Duke TIP) seventh grade talent search identifies students in 16 states in the Southeast, Midwest, and Southwest who have scored in the 95th percentile on a grade-level achievement test. As part of the program, these academically talented students take abovelevel college-entrance exams (SAT or ACT) to learn more about their abilities.
Duke TIP hosts recognition ceremonies to honor the seventh graders who score highest on these ACT exams. This year, of the 66,198 participants nationally, 21,115 students (32 percent) have been invited to attend state recognition ceremonies and 1,804 students (3 percent) have been invited to the grand recognition ceremony.
