Robert Schweikert: 2019 National Champion!

Oak Hill Academy is incredibly proud to announce that 8^th grader, Robert Schweikert (Atlantic Highlands), has been named the National Champion in the American Scholastic Achievement League’s Scholastic Challenge 2019! 

Robert’s score of 95 landed him in first place in the nation! Over 12,000 students took this 100 question online test in February.  The test is divided into six sections: Language and Literature, Geography, History, Science, Mathematics, General Knowledge (i.e. food, arts, sports, music, current events, entertainment, mythology, etc). These topics are not from a specific curriculum, but rather they represent general knowledge.

Results are tallied as a school and as individuals. The national average was 55. Individual state winners a^re announced and only one student is crowned as national champion!

Robert is the National Champion and the New Jersey Champion, too!

Oak Hill Academy has been participating in this academic contest for eleven years. During that time, we are fortunate to have had three New Jersey state Champions: 2012 - Anshul Agarwal; 2016-Jake Fradkin; 2018-Alex Mitchell

Congratulations to Robert Schweikert for being recognized nationally!

In February 2016, 14,000 middle school students across the country participated in the American Scholastic Challenge sponsored by the American Scholastic Achievement League. The purpose of the contest is to provide eighth grade students with an entertaining and challenging enrichment activity that allows them to demonstrate a variety of problem solving skills and knowledge in many academic areas. The 100 question online test covered a range of subjects including language & literature, geography, history, science, mathematics, and general knowledge (i.e. food, art, sports, music, current events, entertainment, and mythology.) Students who participated were treated to a movie and party at school immediately after completing the online test.

Oak Hill’s own Jake Fradkin (Manalapan) received the highest score in the state and was thereby named New Jersey State Champion! In fact, 83% of the Oak Hill Academy eighth graders who signed up to participate received scores above the national average. Jake and the other students were given their awards at Oak Hill’s Academic Awards Assembly on June 2, 2016. Congratulations students!
