ACT Results

 CATHEDRAL SCHOOL

        We have received our scores from the American College Testing (ACT) for our senior class.  Our students scored 22.5 overall, which is two tenths above the graduating class of 2008.  The National Average is 21.1 and the state average is 18.9. 

        The overall average is the composite score (22.5) of the last time the student took the ACT.  So if the student took it more than once the office of the American College Testing will only use the last test to compute the above average composite.  When we calculate the average using their highest score and not necessarily their last time they took it, the ACT average composite for this past graduating class is 22.706. 

         The top half of the class scored an average composite of 24.706.  The top fourth of the class (8 students) scored an average composite score of 26.777.  The class is ranked based on their GPA and not their ACT scores. This means that we have some students who are not in the top fourth of the class who scored higher than a 26.
