This past weekend, 22 schools competed in the Districtwide Online Academic Decathlon Meet. Of those participating campuses, School of Science and Engineering and School for the Talented & Gifted received the highest team points in their respective divisions: medium and small.
With the theme Water: A Most Essential Resource, more than 200 secondary students were tested in several areas including music, art, literature, math, economics, and social science. The top 15 students in each division will receive gold medals. (See top schools’ scores and gold medalist winners in the charts below.)
All schools participating in the Dallas ISD Academic Decathlon program will advance to the Region XII competition, which is scheduled for January 28-29.
The United States Academic Decathlon program is designed to include students from all academic backgrounds. At the regional competition, each nine-member team will consist of three Honor students, three Scholastic students and three Varsity students. In addition to a seven-minute interview, an essay and two speeches, written comprehensive exams are given in music, art, literature, mathematics, economics, social science, and the Super Quiz.
