WCS National Merit Commended Students Announced

Seventy-five WCS students representing nine high schools are among this year’s National Merit Commended Students.

Each year, about 34,000 students receive this honor based on their high PSAT/NMSQT exam scores, putting them among the top five percent of test-takers in the nation. The Commended Students are chosen based on a nationally-applied Selection Index score, and though they do not continue in the competition for National Merit Scholarships, some of the students still have the possibility of getting scholarships sponsored by corporations and businesses.
