District 211 Students Perfect on ACT
The Board of Education honored three High School District 211 students for achieving a 36, the highest possible composite score, on the ACT examination last school year. Palatine High School students Suzanne Birner and Kyle Shymanik and Fremd High School student Matthew Kirby were recognized as three of only 59 students in Illinois to receive a 36 on the ACT during the 2006-2007 school year. Kyle earned two scores of 36 last year.
The ACT, which is taken by nearly 60 percent of America's college-bound students as well as all junior students in Illinois as part of the Prairie State Achievement Examination, is comprised of tests in English, mathematics, reading, and science reasoning. Each test is scored on a scale of 1-36, and a student's score is the average of the four tests.
