To qualify for grand recognition, students must exceed a score of 660 math or 650 verbal or exceed a total score of 1270 on the SAT.

Of 133 district seventh graders who took the SAT or ACT, 86 qualified for state recognition in the Duke program by scoring 510 or higher on either the math or verbal portion of the SAT.

The students will be recognized at a ceremony at Duke University on May 19.
