<p>A correction has been made to the <bold>Results</bold> section, paragraph one. In the published article, there was a mistake in the statement of the percentage of students by gender in the Results section. The percentage was displayed as &#x0201C;Amongst 783 students, 54.5% were girls, 61.0% were in junior grade level.&#x0201D; The correct statement is &#x0201C;Amongst 783 students, 54.5% were boys, 61.0% were in junior grade level.&#x0201D;.</p>
