Each year, mathematically and verbally talented students in the 7 th and 8 th grades are offered the opportunity to take the SAT or ACT under the auspices of the Midwest Talent Search through Northwestern University in Illinois. Students scoring in the top percentiles are given the opportunity to take advanced courses at Northwestern, Purdue, and other Midwestern universities. Each spring, the district usually has one or two students honored by the Greater Cleveland Coordinators of the Gifted for the exemplary performance on the test. It is open to all Middle School students as an extra curricular activity beginning in the fall and culminating in March.
