BRIEF: Middleton HS senior aces parts of SAT

TAMPA, Apr 08, 2012 (Tampa Tribune - McClatchy-Tribune Information Services via COMTEX) -- Simone Decotret is not your typical high school senior.

The Middleton High School student earned a perfect score -- 800 -- on the math and critical reading portions of the SAT recently.

"She's super on the reading and the math," said Elmer Rhone, a guidance counselor at Middleton. "She's top shelf, top of the line in every regard." Simone scored a 680 on the writing portion of the college-entrance test.

One thing she does not like, however, is the limelight, Rhone said. She didn't even attend a recent school board meeting where her accomplishment was one of those feted.

"She is extremely humble. She wouldn't even want us to announce that she got a perfect score," Rhone said. "She sees that as her responsibility and obligation." Simone is involved with the robotics team and the model United Nations group at her school. She also tutors, the counselor said.

"She's a very down-to-earth student who possesses a broad range of knowledge about social issues," Rhone said. "Her attempt is to immerse herself in the culture of her school and to inspire students to know that anything they want to achieve is possible.

"They should not have to fear anything or anybody in trying to reach their goal." ___ (c)2012 the Tampa Tribune (Tampa, Fla.) Visit the Tampa Tribune (Tampa, Fla.) at www.tampatrib.com Distributed by MCT Information Services
