After the completion of three of six contests, Kent has scored 87 points, including a perfect overall score of 30 in the second contest. Each student works independently for 30 minutes on the same six problems; the topics vary and are not known beforehand. The total score of the top scorers in each contest are added to make the school's overall score. The problems are both challenging and entertaining for all the participants and draw from a wide range of high school mathematics topics.
Kent is currently tied for 1st place in Litchfield County and 12th in New England.

Out of 89 teams from throughout New England that competed at Worchester Polytechnic Institute’s 22nd Annual Invitational Mathematics Meet, the KENT math team placed first in the individual round and an impressive third in the team competition
Both team and individual rounds consist of challenging questions based on the secondary mathematics curriculum up to but not including calculus. Students have only a pencil and paper with which to solve the timed problems which increase in difficulty.
Congratulations to the math team for an outstanding achievement!
