The first scholars of the 21st century are here, thanks to the Child Welfare Club.

Club members announced candidates this week for the 2000 Eddy Test, a scholastic achievement test for selected Ironton Middle and St. Lawrence schools.

Eligibility for the test is determined by the Ohio Off-Grade Proficiency Tests. Standard scores in reading, math, citizenship and science were totaled and ranked at the test’s completion.

At St. Lawrence School, the complete composite score of any nationally norm standardized test determines eligibility, and the composite score must include all core class subjects.

The top 25 percent of sixth-grade students from both Ironton Middle School and St. Lawrence School as of the end of the first semester are eligible to take the Eddy Test.
