Levittown’s Saajid Chowdhury, an eighth-grade student at Salk Middle School, placed in the top five percent of the nation as a participant in the prestigious American Mathematics Competition hosted by the Mathematical Association of America.
Chowdhury’s final score was 19 out of 25, qualifying him as a school winner and a first-place winner in his section.
The AMC recognizes and rewards excellence in mathematics through a series of national contests. This is the first time a Salk Middle School student has participated in the competition.
