| Congratulations to all of Fairmont's winners including Ejay Cho who proudly displays his Top in Country Award. |
On October 2, 2010,
dozens of students from Fairmont Private School campuses were honored at a Johns
Hopkins University Center for Talented Youth (CTY) awards ceremony held on the
campus of Cal State Polytechnic University, Pomona. Fairmont students took home a total of 64
awards, including two Top in Country awards and three Top in State awards. Sixth grader Ejay Cho placed first in the
nation in the SCAT Quantitative category for fifth grade (results were based on tests taken last academic year). Former Fairmont eighth grader Winston Lee placed first in the
nation for his grade level in the SAT Math category.
The awards
ceremony honors students based on their exceptional performance on a rigorous,
above-grade-level test given to second through eighth grade CTY Talent Search
participants. Seventh and eighth graders take the SAT or ACT, the same tests
used for college admissions. Second through sixth graders take the SCAT, an
above-level test scaled for younger students.
In 2009-10 alone,
over 53,000 students from 21 states and the District of Columbia participated
in the Talent Searches offered through CTY. About 30 percent of the second and
sixth graders who tested this winter earned an invitation to CTY's awards
ceremony, and about 25 percent of the seventh and eighth grade testers earned
an invitation to an awards ceremony.
