College Board , NMSQT honor 86 as top students in the country
Denton ISD has a storied history of academic rigor that places our graduating students among the top in the state and nation . Each year the College Board recognizes Advanced Placement ( AP ) Scholars for their performance on college-level exams . And while there is no monetary gift associated with the award , their scores most often earn students course credit that helps with tuition at some of the country ’ s most prestigious universities .
The National Merit Scholarship program identifies the country ’ s academic elite , and is based on a student ’ s performance on the Preliminary Scholastic Aptitude Test ( PSAT ). Denton ISD has produced 40 National Merit Semi-finalists in the past 14 years .
