Top Research Honors for MacArthur Students

The Levittown School District is pleased to announce that the research of MacArthur High School science research students Jamie Aquilino, Jasmine Chevez, Danielle Pinto and Devin Zeller was displayed at the Middle States Association of American Geographers on Oct. 2-3 in Binghamton, New York.

These four researchers were the only high school students whose research was accepted for display among the research of graduate and postgraduate students, college students, professors and professionals. The goal of the MSAAG is to advance investigations in geography and to encourage the application of geographic findings in education, government and business.

Jasmine’s and Devin’s research project investigated the effect of demographics on standardized test scores, while Danielle’s and Jamie’s research explored popular suburban youth hangouts. Both teams have been working on their projects for the past two years under the direction of Dr. David Friedman and Matthew Zausin.
