A district cutoff is one measure of an examination. It is not the whole story of a child. EEA recognizes learning, dedication and progress, giving students a reason to keep believing in their ability.

Our purpose

Seven stars. Many ways to shine.

Recognition grows with achievement. Each star tier pairs a certificate with a meaningful award, from a bronze medal to a shield and special gift.

Marks guide: 110–200

Exact mark boundaries depend on the applicable cutoff. The supplied 2026 table contains conflicting ranges; contact Impel to confirm your child’s category.
