The John Hopkins Center for Talented Youth has recognized Preesha Chakraborty, a remarkable 9-year-old third grader from Warm Spring Elementary School in Fremont, CA, as one of the brightest students globally. This prestigious acknowledgment highlights her exceptional intellectual abilities and academic prowess at a young age.

Her acknowledgment stems from her outstanding achievements on the SAT, ACT, and the Center for Talented Youth’s exclusive test. This test was administered to 16,000 students across 90 countries.

According to WION, Preesha Chakraborty achieved an excellent score in the 99th percentile on the CTY test. This earned her the prestigious distinction of Grand Honors. This also places her in an elite group, as less than 30 percent of test takers qualify for either high or grand honors.

With this accomplishment, Preesha now meets the criteria to enroll in over 250 advanced programs offered by Johns Hopkins CTY. These programs span both online and on-campus options and are available for students in grades 2-12.

Additionally, Mensa, a distinguished society for individuals with the highest IQs, has recognized her as a lifetime member. Amy Shelton, the Executive Director of the CTY, expressed, “This is not just recognition of students’ performance on one test, but a testament to their curiosity and capacity for learning,” as reported by American Bazaar. 

She further emphasized that these students have showcased significant potential. She encouraged them to explore experiences and communities that allow them to challenge and expand their knowledge. Shelton urged them to connect with fellow young scholars, gain diverse perspectives, cultivate critical thinking skills, and pursue their goals with confidence.

POLL — Should Public Schools Include Critical Race Theory and Sex Education in Their Curriculum?

In response to the news about gifted children entering college early, one X user expressed a more cautious perspective, stating, “It is not uncommon for kids to enter college while they are not even 12 years old. And I knew a couple of them. No doubt these kids are very intelligent and love to learn, but I don’t know any of them who have achieved better in life than their peers who went through a regular schedule. That’s why, when my daughter learned all the letters before she was 18 months old, I did not push her to learn to read, etc. I wanted her to have a normal life.”

Another user disagreed, countering, “On the contrary… that is very uncommon. If anything, not helping a child reach her full potential shouldn’t be seen as something to be proud of.”

Another commenter provided additional context, saying, “Being within the 99th percentile (top 1% of the US population) isn’t necessarily too big a deal. There are three million of them. My two kids are in the 99th percentile and Mensa members also.

They qualified for the Grand Recognition in Duke University’s Talent Identification Program in 2013. There is a further percentile within that 3 million people. My kids may be on the lower end, while this 9-year-old may be on the higher end. Some kids are profoundly gifted.”
