Two Newbury Park High School Students Achieve Perfect ACT Score

Two Newbury Park High School Students Achieve Perfect ACT Score

Congratulations to Laila S., Newbury Park High School 11th grade student and Lily H., Newbury Park High School 12th grade student on earning a perfect Composite score of 36 on the ACT, the highest possible score. 

This achievement on the ACT is not just outstanding; it’s exceptional. To put it in perspective, only about one-quarter of 1% of all test takers earn the top score. Among U.S. high school graduates in the class of 2025, only 2,958 out of more than 1.38 million students who took the ACT earned a Composite score of 36.

The ACT consists of section tests in English, math, and reading, each scored on a scale of 1–36, as well as optional science and writing tests. The ACT Composite score is the average of the English, math, and reading test scores. The scores for ACT’s optional science and writing tests are reported separately and are not included in the ACT Composite score. 

The ACT test is a curriculum-based achievement exam that measures what students should have had the opportunity to learn in school. Students who earn a top Composite score have demonstrated mastery of the skills and knowledge they will need to succeed in first-year college courses in the core subject areas.

Laila’s and Lily's achievement is a true reflection of their hard work, dedication, and commitment to academic excellence. Please join us in celebrating Laila and Lily for their outstanding achievements!
