2024-2025 WordMasters Challenge Meet #1 Results

The results of the first meet of the 38th annual WordMasters Challenge™ are in!  Congratulations to all the teams that placed among the Top Ten in their division, as well as the students who earned a perfect score of 20! Please see the charts below for more details, or go to the View Reports page on your dashboard and select Meet #1 from the dropdown box.

As always, please keep in mind that scores in the WordMasters Challenge™ do not reflect typical classroom results; in many divisions, less than 5% of participants score 18 or above.  Remember that everyone's goal should be individual and team improvement over time. The most critical step in the WordMasters Challenge™ process is reviewing the tests and discussing the logic behind the analogies. Don't skip this important activity!

In the BLUE DIVISION, two teams turned in a perfect score of 200 points -- congratulations to the fourth grade team from Northpoint Elementary School in Granger, IN, and the eighth graders representing Lincoln Hall in Lincolnwood, IL!  The third grade quiz proved especially difficult this time around, with no perfect scores reported and only 7 students achieving a score of 19 points.   Three schools placed three or more teams among the Top Ten:  Lincoln Junior High School in Naperville, IL (6B, 7B, 8B); Solomon Schecter Day School of Greater Boston in Newton, MA (6B, 7B, 8B); and Ridgefield Academy in Ridgefield, CT (5B, 6B, 7B, 8B).  

In the GOLD DIVISION of the WordMasters Challenge™, several schools placed three or more teams in the Top Ten: Spartanburg School District 7 in Spartanburg, SC (3G, 4G, 5G, 6G, 7G, 8G); Darien Public Schools in Darien, CT (3G, 4G, 5G, 6G, 7G, 8G); Eastern Middle School in Riverside, CT (6G, 7G, 8G); Kennedy Junior High School in Naperville, IL (6G, 7G, 8G); and Miller Middle School in San Jose, CA (6G, 7G, 8G).  Three different fourth grade teams representing CCSD 15 in Palatine, IL, ranked among the Top Ten as well as one of their third grade teams.  The fourth graders from Nysmith School in Herndon, VA, posted a perfect score of 200 points.  And congratulations to Jacob S. from Pikeview Middle School in Princeton, WV, for posting the only perfect score in the Grade 3/Gold Division.

Team Leaders, if you had one or more teams place among the Top Ten in its division and/or any of your students earned a perfect score, we will be sending you a DRAFT press release by December 20th. Since we email the press releases as Word documents, you may edit and distribute the press release at your discretion.  If you would like to create your own press release, click here for a downloadable template.

Be sure to examine the charts that follow the lists of Outstanding Teams, which are the best tools for assessing your own students' achievements.  As always, students scoring 18 or better should be extremely proud of their achievement.
