Four Seniors Earn Top ACT Score
Four members of the Class of 2012 have earned a top score of 36 on the ACT. Twenty-four Jr. Billikens have now achieved this feat in the past six years.
On average, less than one-tenth of one percent of all test takers earn the top score. Among the high school graduating class of 2010, nearly 1.6 million graduates took the ACT. Of that number, just 588 students earned a score of 36 (and three of them were from SLUH).
The average ACT score for SLUH students is 30. The top 25% of SLUH test takers earn an average of 34, and the top 50% on average earn a 32 on the test. (These ACT scores represent 95% of the Class of 2011.)
