Waller Junior High seventh grader Angelica Grayson was recently identified as one of the top 5 percent of academically talented seventh grade students nationwide. Grayson was invited to participate in the Duke University Talent Identification Program (TIP) Search.  TIP identified seventh graders nationwide as academically talented students by having a high qualifying score on the Math or Reading/English Language Arts portion of the TAKS test.

Forty-four Waller Jr. High students overall met the qualifying score for the program.  These students were one of approximately 70,000 seventh graders nationwide who were invited to take the college entrance examinations, SAT or ACT.

Grayson took the SAT, along with other college bound students, and scored higher than average on the writing portion of the SAT compared to last year’s group of college-bound seniors nationwide. Her high SAT writing score qualified Grayson to attend the prestigious Duke University TIP 2009 Texas Recognition Ceremony at Texas A&M University on May 28.
