The nerve of these people!
Don't they know that 1 in 4 of our students graduates with high honors?
Someone needs to investigate the bias.
Thirty-two area students are among 112 Wisconsin students and nearly 4,800 students nationwide who received National Merit Scholarships from U.S. colleges and universities this year.
In Dane County the recipients were from
Edgewood High: 2
Madison East: 3
Madison Memorial: 1
Madison West: 6
Madison Shabazz:1
Marshall High: 1
Middleton High: 4
Stoughton High: 2
Verona High: 3
Waunakee High: 1
Home Schooled: 3 (all of Madison)
Verona and Middleton--schools roughly our size--had 3 and 4 respectively...but none from Sun Prairie.
