With an IQ of 156, Madison is in the top 99.99% of her charter school. Madison is charming, enthusiastic and competitive. She loves classic rock & roll, practicing on her drum set daily. She is a top student at her school, she reads at High School level and is learning Jr. High mathematics. She has a photogenic memory and loves to learn and consistently be informed of new idea/topics.

She started reading at the age of 2 and a half, and by three was already perfectly reading Dr. Seuss books on her own. When Madison grows up, she wants to be a Kindergarten teacher, as she believes she is good at teaching others.

Why she’ll win?

Madison is well beyond her years of knowledge. She is frequently in classes with older kids, so won’t have a problem competing against her peers. In addition to her shockingly high IQ, Madison counts her photographic memory a her strong assets for this competition. Whether its history or readings, Madison will rise to the occasion and prove herself a “Child Genius.”
