Solanco High School student Andre Mohler and Clermont Elementary's Rhett Jennings have scored high enough to qualify for the national MathCon test.
Rhett scored 233 out of a possible 300 points, placing him in the 99th percentile of students who took the exam.
Over the course of a month, students at the elementary, middle, and high school levels competed in the 2020 MathCON competition.
MathCON is an online mathematics contest in which students compete in grade level contests against math students from around the U.S., according to Quarryville Elementary teacher Gerald Boyd. The second round is available to the students who qualify as the top finishers in the country based on the first round's test results. The second round was to also include an in-person test in Chicago, though it was canceled due to recommended safety procedures during the coronavirus pandemic.
At the high school level, the following Solanco students scored high enough to earn spots as alternates for the finals: Emma Kline, Trent Henry, Charles Golden, Owen Brazelton, Joel Troutman, and Brady Robillard.
