Prospective college students dream of a perfect ACT score. Many high school students spend months preparing for standardized tests like the ACT, tests that college admissions departments use to gauge applicants. For 17 students at Walnut Hills High School in Cincinnati, every minute of studying was worth it.
The school district released a notice about the students who received their perfect scores, as well as 23 other students at the school who earned near-perfect scores. The national average for the ACT in 2018 a was 20.8, according to Statista. The average score in Ohio was a 20.3, a bit lower than the national average and far lower than the perfect ACT score of those 17 students at Walnut Hills.
Not plausible.
VerronaMark AWESOME! Hard work ALWAYS pays off! You can do ANYTHING with gard eork and determination! Way to go kids! 💋
The students “plan to attend University of Cincinnati, Ohio State University, Tulane University and Rhodes College.” No kid with a perfect ACT score has ever thought “Ohio State — /that’s/ a school with the kind of rigorous academic culture that will feed my intellectual hunger!”
It would be a bit more imaginable if perfect ACT scores came from a tech state with the influence of the parents, but Ohio? Oh dear.
We have since learned that these test scores are garbage since parents are paying other people to take their kids' tests
Were any of them Felicity Huffman's kids?
So one smart kid and sixteen cheaters. About par for the course for any US public school.
