Middle School  has 24 sets of twins in fifth grade. That's about 10 percent of the class, which has about 475 students. One set of twins is leading the effort to receive Guinness World Records recognition. School officials say Guinness required documentation and birth certificates. The students are awaiting confirmation, which could take several weeks.It was two brothers trying to enter the guinness book of world records that discovered the high level of twins in the school.
"We were absolutely shocked," said their mother, Nancy Fendley. And it wouldn't just brush past the current record of 16. "It's blowing it away," she said.
With some help from mom and dad, the brothers submitted an application with Guinness earlier this year and after following up with birth certificates, photos and proof that all are enrolled at the school, they expect official recognition in several weeks.
Most of the twins are fraternal. The breakdown: three sets of boy-boy twins, 11 sets of girl-girl twins and 10 sets of boy-girl twins. The two sets of identical twins are girls.
Another fun fact: In two of the pairings are twins who bridged the midnight hour and were born on different day
