George School Math Team Ranks 13th in Nation in Math Madness Competition

The Math Team of Bucks County's George School is undefeated in the preliminary rounds of the Mathematical Association of America's Math Madness competition and currently ranked 13th nationally out of more than 500 schools.

George School has defeated Princeton Day School, Georgetown Preparatory School, W.G. Enloe Magnet School and The Wheatley School (which had earlier defeated Choate Rosemary Hall with a perfect score).

Two members of the Math Team are from Yardley, one is from Lawrenceville, and one is from Princeton.

The players are Young He ’19, Forest Ho-Chen ’22, Leon Li ’20, Jason Liu ’22, Justin Liu ’21, Maksim Shi ’20, Spencer Stockhammer ’20, Tony Tian ’19, John Wang ’19, Tommy Wang ’21, Anney Ye ’20, and Ellen Zhang ’21.

“The George School Cougars early play has placed them in the Division 1 Elite Bracket. They have jumped out to early leads and not looked back,” said Kevin Moon, team coach and head of the mathematics department. “We are currently ranked thirteenth in the country.”

According to Moon, George School students consistently rank in the upper brackets in AP tests in math and in the International Baccalaureate (IB) international tests in math and science.

Math Madness is an online, team-based event that takes place during the fall. Hundreds of public and private high schools from across the country compete in leagues of weekly competitions followed by a single elimination bracket tournament, styled after the March Madness basketball tournament for college teams.

Described as a Global School with local roots, George School in Newtown is a co-ed college preparatory school with rigorous academics and Quaker values. Its 547 students come from 44 countries and 22 states with 26% international students, 37% US students of color, half boarding and half local day students, with almost half receiving financial aid.
