“This marks a significant increase of 0.9 points from the previous year and positions the district as a state-wide leader in academic performance,” a press release about the ACT scores says. “The ACT is a standardized test widely used for college admissions in the United States, with scores ranging from 1 to 36.”
Congratulations to all students and the district.
