America Answers Fall 2021 is over! The contest went so well this year and the scores are great. One hundred fifty teams from twenty states took part this year. We had 54 seventh grade teams sign up and 96 eighth grade teams. Based on the number of takers, we will be awarding three trophies in 7th grade and four trophies in the 8th grade pool.
In 7th grade, the top team was from Downingtown Middle School in Downingtown, Pennsylvania with a terrific 1273. Middlesex Middle School in Darien Connecticut is our second-place winner with a super 1232 score. The third-place trophy and ribbons will be sent to Lesher Middle School in Ft.

The home for the fourth-place trophy and ribbons in 8th grade Park Forest Middle School in State College, Pennsylvania for their super 1281.
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.
