Several Spanish and French language students at Pratt High School recently attained national recognition for excellent performance on the 2021 National Examinations, according to Spanish, French and ESL teacher at Pratt High School Michelle Popovich.
“First year Spanish Student Kari Fitzsimmons earned a Bronze Medal for her high score and a ranking in the 80th percentile,” Popovich said. “Earning Mención Honorífica (Honorable mention) were Spanish 1 students Gabriela Gatlin and Alyson James, both scoring well above the 50th percentile.”
The percentile score indicates the student’s performance relative to that of other students in the same level of Spanish and the same category. All three students are in the category for students learning Spanish in the classroom with no prior organized study or heritage language experience. Nationwide 11,552 first year Spanish students with only classroom experience took the exam.
