Several Middle School students have been recognized in the Duke University Talent Identification Program. The Duke TIP seventh-grade talent search identifies students in the Southeast, Midwest and Southwest who have scored in the 95th percentile on a grade-level achievement test. As part of the program, the students take the SAT or ACT.
Duke TIP hosts annual recognition ceremonies to honor the seventh-graders who score highest on the exams. State recognition ceremonies honor seventh-graders who have earned scores equal or better than half the college-bound seniors who took the tests. Among those receiving state recognition are Darlington's Anna Forrister, Ansley McDurmon, Douglas Miller, Kendrick Rhea and Jonathan Tierney. Students honored in state recognitions all qualified for Duke's summer enrichment program; other local students may have qualified based on their test scores, but those names are not released by Duke.
