National Merit Success!

Lake Ridge Academy is proud to announce that 5 seniors from the class of 2004 are named National Merit Scholar semifinalists!

This year's National Merit semi-finalists are Marissa Slany, Stephanie Kim, Jacob Wysor, Anna Volk, and Aalap Narichania. Our Commended Scholars are Ian Anderson, Keith Rathbone, and Courtney Flannery. They comprise 20% of the senior class.

More than 1.3 million juniors entered the 2004 National Merit Program by taking the 2003 Preliminary SAT/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test, which served as an initial screen of program entrants. Our 5 students were selected from 55,626 students at 886 different schools in the state of Ohio. The semi-finalists include the highest scoring entrants in each state, who were designated semi-finalists in numbers proportional to the state's percentage of the national total of graduation high school seniors.

The 16,000 semi-finalists represent every state and represent less than one percent of U.S. high school seniors. They will continue in the competition for more than 8,000 Merit Scholarship awards.

Our entire Lake Ridge Academy community -- parents, students, faculty, alumni, and administration -- salutes our seniors and their outstanding achievements!
