This year, 764 third grade students from across the state of Iowa were nominated to be part of the National Math Stars (NMS) program. In order to apply students needed to score in the top 2% on mathematics on the Iowa Statewide Assessment of Student Progress (ISASP).
Mount Vernon had five students who, in the spring of 2025, scored in the top 2% and finished as semi-finalists. They were Owen Cullen, Macklen Meyer, Fia Moore, Lucy Wolter, and Yates Yamanishi.
Congratulations!
