math kangaroo results are out

[Anonymous]

Georgetown STEAM offers an after school MATH class that it markets as prep for the Kangaroo Math exam and other programs. It IS where you send your kid to prep for the exam. See

Yes, it offers other programs too, but the kids who take the test are from the after-school math class.

I did notice there are many more kids in each rank in the older testing grade taking each test. So like 91 was 96% for a 4th grader but 99% for a 3rd grader… which makes sense.

DC has way less kids attending, so 4th place is not impressive. I checked on year only 10 kids participated in DC but hundreds in Maryland and Virginia.

It’s not 4th place, it’s 4th RANK. A lot of kids have the same rank if they get the same score.

Also a lot of DC kids take the test in MD or VA at the RSM center or other places that they attend.

Math Kangaroo itself calls it "place" although they don't break ties so it's really rank. In any case, there is no doubt that DC is less competitive than VA or CA or NY. That said, multiple kids from a DCPS getting 1st in DC and Top 5 national rankings is really impressive. And I'm impressed by a DCPS holding its own with the Georgetown after school prep program in any case, since that program is literally set up to prep for Math Kangaroo.

I wonder how LT ended up having Math Kangaroo and how other DCPS schools could get it.

It's not where kids go to prep for math contests.

You are likely thinking of something similarly named. Georgetown STEAM is an afterschool math program that is specifically aimed at Math Kangaroo prep.

Ludlow-Taylor holding its own with a competition prep program is impressive. Looks like VA has some elementary schools too, but MD is totally dominated by prep programs.

My DCPS kid competed in MD, because we couldn't sign up at LT or Gtown STEAM.
