The intent of the Athletic Excellence Award is to recognize the superior student athletes. But, what does “superior” mean? Some statisticians might consider any student above the interquartile range to be “superior.” In descriptive statistics the interquartile range represents data between percentile and the 75th the 25th be the top quarter. Other statisticians might consider any student more than one standard deviation above the mean of a normal distribution to be “superior.” In descriptive statistics approximately 16% of normally distributed data are more than one standard deviation above the mean. The Provost Public School Awards Committee intends “superior” to mean anyone in the top 16% – 25% of the class. In other words, approximately 3 – 5 students in a class of 20 would be considered to be “superior.” The Provost Public School Awards Committee intends “approximately 3 – 5 students in a class of 20” to be a guideline rather than a requirement. Some years less than three students [in a class of 20] will be recommended for the Athletic Award; some years there will be more than five students recommended. In order for an activity to count towards the Grade 10 – 12 Athletic Award, the student athlete must practice or compete under the direct supervision of a teacher throughout the majority of the ASAA-prescribed season of play percentile. So, above the interquartile range would percentile would be the top quarter.
