The National Merit process started with more than 1.6 million juniors in 22,000 schools who took the Preliminary SAT test in 2015; semifinalists were the highest-scoring participants. The nationwide pool of semifinalists, which represents less than one percent of U.S. high school seniors, includes the highest-scoring entrants in each state. We are proud that of AISD's 38 Semi-finalists, 24 attend LASA.
