To put this in perspective, the highest average score for people under 64 years of age is 109.
The gifted kindergartener reads on a third or fourth grade level.
She is interested in physics particularly “the force in motion”, Lopez told ABC7.
Lopez goes to school in Dover, New Jersey where she is a shining star.
Her parents started noticing Lopez’s intelligence when she was 18 months old.
“We were on a trip in the airport, and she just started to count in Mandarin,” Declan’s mom Meachel Lopez told ABC7.
Declan’s parents make sure she’s involved in social activities like karate, soccer and music theory. The family is also exploring coding classes.

On top of raising an exceptional daughter, there is strong evidence showing Lopez’s little brother Maddox is following in her footsteps.
The Lopez family said they might get a DNA test to see if this level of genius runs in their family.
