Three PLHS Students Achieve Perfect ACT Scores

Prior Lake High School is celebrating a rare academic achievement: three students—Meredith Clemens, Olivia Zirbel and Trevor Zwart—have each earned the highest possible composite score of 36 on the ACT, the standardized test widely used for college admissions in the United States.

Earning a top score on the ACT is an extraordinary accomplishment. Historically, ACT has reported that fewer than one-half of 1% of all test takers reach this benchmark. The ACT exam includes sections in English, mathematics, reading, and science, each scored on a scale from 1 to 36. A student’s composite score is the average of these four section scores.
