America Answers: Grades 5 & 6
America Answers Fall 2021 is over! The contest went so well this year and the scores are great. One hundred fifty-seven teams from eighteen states took part this year. We had 73 fifth grade teams sign up and 84 sixth grade teams. Based on the number of takers, we will be awarding three trophies in 5th grade and four trophies in the 6th grade pool.
In 5th grade, the top team was from Riverside Elementary School in Crestview, Florida with an awesome 1201. Holy Name of Jesus School in Wayzata, Minnesota is our second-place winner with a super 1179 score. The third-place trophy and ribbons will be sent to Waynesboro Area Schools in Waynesboro, Pennsylvania with a very close score of 1178.
Top honors for 6th grade go to the outstanding team from Lesher Middle School in Ft. Collins, Colorado with a contest high score of 1238 and a 98% correct. Valley Middle School in Oakland, New Jersey will receive the second-place trophy in 6th grade for their also superb 1238 but the tie breaker goes to highest percent and they had 94%. Park Forest Middle School in State College, Pennsylvania with their great 1228 score, is our third-place winner. The home for the fourth-place trophy and ribbons in 6th grade is Chadron Middle School in Chadron, Nebraska for their super 1214.
The trophies and ribbons will be sent in a week. We suggest you print the results. We print at 80%. For those who have not participated before, the first column in the results is your rank within your grade pool. The second column called “Overall” is the rank your team would be if you combined the two grade levels and is just for your information. We use percents only to break score ties since they do not consider the speed of the answer or if it was a second time right answer.
For those of you who took this America Answers fall contest, it will be available as an online as a practice quiz for free starting next fall. We certainly have enjoyed working with you on this contest and the earlier ones. We hope you and your students enjoyed this challenge and learned some new things. Please consider participating again in the America Answers spring contest in April. We appreciate any good references you give us and thanks to those who hung in with us through the covid challenge
