PERFECT ACT SCORES
Congratulations to Gabrielle Enns and Nicholas Johnson for earning perfect composite scores of 36 on the ACT. This achievement is significant and rare. On average, less than one-tenth of 1% of all test takers earns the top score. Among U.S. high school graduates in the class of 2016, only 2,235 out of nearly 2.1 million students who took the ACT earned a composite score of 36. Gabrielle and Nicholas are also National Merit Semi-Finalists. Congratulations!
