Nominees must meet the criteria of an "Academic Decathlon," successfully navigating ten challenging academic events to showcase their scholastic strength. To qualify, students must hold a minimum GPA of 3.750, a minimum ACT score of 29 or a minimum SAT score of 1,280, rank in the upper ten percent of their class, and engage in advanced coursework in mathematics, science, English, and foreign language.

The 7th grade math classes recently competed in a jump rope contest to collect data to graph! Each class divided into groups to see how many times they could jump at 1:30, 1:00 and 0:30 seconds. Then they took the data from the top 10 jumps to create a box and whisker plot; also discussing the I.Q.R. (interquartile range) and the outliers of the box plot. The class with the greatest upper quartile of 114 was the Maroon 3 Block!💪 #OneWillow
