Twenty-three third grade students from across Hamilton Southeastern Schools have earned statewide recognition for exceptional math achievement through a new partnership between the Indiana Department of Education and National Math Stars.
According to HSE Schools, on the agenda for the upcoming board meeting, the students scored within the top two percent of third grade math students in Indiana on this year’s ILEARN assessment.
The selected students were nominated for recognition through the National Math Stars program, which offers qualifying students the opportunity to apply for a free long-term support program focused on advanced mathematics education. The program includes support for advanced coursework, enrichment opportunities, family advising and connections with other high-achieving math students.
