UIL Academic Competition
UIL Academic Competition
For the past few years, each network in Arlington ISD has competed in the UIL A+ competition. These are academic contests where students work on a particular area and compete against their peers from surrounding schools. Corey Academy hosted this year's contest, led by Chrystena Talamantez, Corey Academy GT Specialist. The competitions include Dictionary, Spelling, Oral Reading, Art, Calculator, Math, Chess Puzzle, etc. The UIL website describes the A+ contests this way...
The program of academic competition for elementary, middle school and junior high school became the "A+ Academics" in 2008. A+ Academics includes 20 different events for grades 2-8. These events span the curriculum - they are designed to complement and expand upon what students learn in the classroom, both through learning specific subject knowledge, and through learning skills that are valuable in many disciplines. Approximately 3,000 Texas schools participate in A+ Academics, competing in more than 300 district meets each year." -- http://www.uiltexas.org/aplus
