Axel leads the way with exams in Atitlán - Guatemala

Atitlan's results in the mid-term exams in Itzapa were led in the morning by Axel, who got 100's in all subjects, with Iris, Yeimy and Erick not far behind. The top half of the class averaged in the high 80's.

In the afternoon, Luis Miguel and Amilca shone, with Dulce improving hugely in the sciences. Martin and Ken are currently at the helm, following on the great work from Jessica and Kaitlin. Numbers have swelled to almost 30 in the morning!
