## Resource

Madison School District is crushing it—leading Wisconsin with 66 National Merit Scholarship semifinalists, a massive leap from last year’s 22. This isn’t just bragging rights; it’s proof of their academic powerhouse strategy and the future-ready talent they’re cultivating. Out of 1.5 million PSAT takers nationwide, only 16,000 make the cut as semifinalists—and these students are already preparing for college while earning top honors.
