Midview Middle School is proud to share its third-place finish at the Lorain County Academic Challenge, organized by the Lorain County Educational Service Center (ESC).
The competition, which takes place annually, features teams of 7th and 8th-grade students from school districts throughout Lorain County. Teams compete in a total of eight rounds, testing their knowledge across multiple subjects, including math, science, social studies, geography, and language arts as well as a miscellaneous and lightning round category. To prepare, students review study topics, memorize fact sheets, and read a designated novel. This year, students read “Boys in the Boat” by Daniel James Brown.
Midview’s team finished the regular competition in a three-way tie for first place with Avon and Oberlin, each team earning 21 points. After a tiebreaker round, Midview ultimately secured third place.
“I am so incredibly proud of our students,” said Mrs. Jesse Morgan, Midview Middle School’s Science, Algebra 1, and Academic Challenge coordinator. “Their hard work really paid off, and they represented Midview well. I couldn’t be more excited for them.”
Congratulations to the Midview Middle School team: Andrew Downey, Conner Boone, Madeline Wolf, Caroline Moore, Reed Gibson, Holden Sukey, Nick Gawne, and Lucas Downey.
Students interested in joining the Midview Middle School Academic Challenge team take a qualification test at the start of the school year. A select group of eight to ten students is chosen based on their performance on the test.
