Lakeside, Garfield, Newport lead in National Merit semifinalists

The National Merit Scholarship Corp. has announced the names of about 16,000 students nationwide who were among the top scorers on the 2007 Preliminary SAT.

The National Merit Scholarship Corp. has announced the names of about 16,000 students nationwide who were among the top scorers on the 2007 Preliminary SAT.

As semifinalists, these students may become finalists eligible for scholarships from National Merit Scholarship, colleges and universities and corporate sponsors.

The nationwide pool of semifinalists represents less than 1 percent of U.S. high-school seniors, and includes the highest-scoring entrants in each state.

The number of semifinalists in a state is proportional to the state's percentage of the national total of graduating seniors.

The private Lakeside School in Seattle had the highest number of students achieving National Merit semifinalist status, with 30 students.

Both Seattle's Garfield High and Bellevue's Newport High each had 20 semifinalists.
