Tyler ISD Students Meet
Duke University TIP Standards

 

Duke University Talent Identification Program (Duke TIP) identifies academically talented seventh graders based on standardized test scores achieved while attending elementary or middle school. Candidates are identified and invited to complete either the SAT or the ACT college entrance examinations. Duke TIP then provides the participants with comparative information concerning their academic abilities and resources for unique educational opportunities.   The seventh grade talent search provides an opportunity for highly able students to pursue an above-level testing experience. These above-level tests provide more information about their academic abilities so that they can effectively plan for their high school years.  

“The Duke TIP program provides students with an opportunity to take a college level entry test,” said Gladys Cooper, Counselor at James S. Hogg Middle School.  ’’Students come away from the test with the knowledge of what they need to achieve before they take the ACT or SAT for scholarship opportunities or college entrance.  It is a good experience for students to realize they have the ability to compete with older students.”

The following students qualified based on their fifth and/or sixth grade Texas Assessment of Knowledge and Skills (TAKS) scores:
