Westlake High School class of 2018 gets most astounding normal ACT score in school history

The Westlake High School class of 2018 got the most astounding normal American College Test composite score in the school's history, outperforming both state and national midpoints, Superintendent Tom Leonard said to the leading body of trustees Tuesday.

• Westlake understudies' normal: 27.8
• State normal: 20.6
• National normal: 20.8
• Past most astounding Westlake score: 27.3 of every 2014

"While no single estimation can assess achievement, our understudies' advancement on the ACT demonstrates our accentuation on school prepared and school effective understudies is working," Westlake High School Principal Steve Ramsey said in a public statement. "We credit this accomplishment to the majority of the committed educators who assume such a profitable job in our understudies' accomplishments and to our understudies who come to grounds each day prepared to learn."

The discharge said 72 percent of Westlake High School understudies met the ACT school preparation benchmark scores in every one of the four branches of knowledge, contrasted with 25 percent statewide.

By subject, school availability rates were as per the following, with the state normal noted incidentally:

• 97 percent ACT English (56)
• 86 percent ACT Algebra (39)
• 85 percent ACT Social Science (44)
• 82 percent ACT Biology (35)

School availability benchmark scores on the above ACT branch of knowledge tests speak to the level of accomplishment required for understudies to have a 50 percent shot of acquiring a B or higher or around a 75 percent possibility of getting a C or higher in comparing credit-bearing first-year school courses, the discharge said.
