Many Students Perform Above the National Average on ACT
Many St. Louis Public High School seniors are performing above
the national average on the ACT test. With graduation right
around the corner, many high school seniors will depend on
their ACT scores to get into college.
The ACT is a curriculum-based achievement test made up of
four separate exams in English, reading, mathematics and science,
and an optional writing test. The exam is scored on a scale
of 1 to 36, with 36 being the highest possible score.
Congratulations to the following students who received the
highest ACT scores at their respective high schools this year:
Name School
Theodore Mondaine Beaumont
Phylicia Bolton Clyde C. Miller Career Academy
Emilee Denich Central VPA High School
Chris Jaros Cleveland Naval Junior ROTC @ Pruitt
Paril Mehta Gateway Institute of Technology
Rui Bao Metro Academic & Classical H.S
Justin Trueblood Roosevelt
Jeffrey Hall Soldan International Studies
Michael Lathan Sumner
Devin Hooks Vashon
We are proud of all of our students who scored at or above
the national average this year. We must continue our efforts
in improving ACT scores for all high school juniors and seniors
so that all St. Louis Public School graduates will have the
opportunity to attend the college of their choice.
