Duke Talent Identification Program ID's 80 Graves Middle Students

DUKE TALENT SEARCH AT GRAVES MIDDLE – Now in its 31st year, Duke University's Talent Identification Program (TIP) is the largest of its kind in the nation. More than 2 million students have participated in the Talent Search since its inception in 1980. The Duke Talent Identification Program's Seventh Grade Talent Search identifies academically talented seventh graders based on standardized test scores achieved while attending elementary or middle school. Candidates are then invited to take the ACT or the SAT college entrance exams as seventh graders, which allows them greater insight into their academic abilities. In addition, they gain valuable benefits and resources for gifted students.

Academic talent searches help families find out how advanced students' abilities truly are. Traditional testing often fails to measure the variation among many gifted students who reach the upper limits of scoring on grade-level exams. By taking advanced above-level testing (at least two years above a student's current grade placement) through the Duke University’s Talent Identification Program's talent search, gifted students and their families gain a far better understanding of where the student stands in relation to his/her gifted peers and what level of educational challenge is appropriate.

This year's TIP identified 80 students at Graves Middle School.
