Schools Student achieves top ACT score
Lindsey Leetham, a senior at Camas High School, and the daughter of Kevin and Amy Leetham of Camas, earned the highest possible ACT composite score of 36. On average, fewer than one-tenth of one percent of students who take the ACT earn a top score, according to the organization. In 2016, only 2,235 out of nearly 2.1 million U.S. high school seniors who took the ACT earned a composite score of 36.
The ACT consists of tests in English, math, reading and science, each scored on a scale of 1 to 36. A student’s composite score is the average of the four test scores.
In a letter to Leetham, ACT Chief Executive Officer Marten Roorda stated: “Your achievement on the ACT is significant and rare. While test scores are just one of multiple criteria that most colleges consider when making admission decisions, your exceptional ACT composite score should prove helpful as you pursue your education and career goals.”ACT test scores are accepted by all major U.S. colleges.
