Cambridge International Examinations names six Juanita High School students “Top in Country” for their efforts on last spring’s exams. These students achieved the highest standard mark in the U.S. for a single subject. Madelyn Colantes received two “Top in Country” awards in different subjects, English and history.

In addition, four students were recognized as Cambridge Scholars for Advanced (A) Level, listed below. A Level standards cover approximately two years of college-level curriculum in a subject. Eight students received recognition in Advanced Subsidiary (AS) Level, a pre-university qualification for students 16-19 years old.

Twenty-five students achieved at the International General Certification of Secondary Education (IGCSE) Level. The IGCSE is an international qualification for 14 to 16 year olds.

Three hundred schools nationwide offer the Cambridge program. Juanita High School is the only school in Lake Washington School District that offers this program, and one of the few in the Northwest.
