Ironwood High School senior Vincent Lageschulte achieved something few other students accomplish: he earned a perfect score of 36 on the ACT assessment test in all subject areas — English, math, reading and science.
More than 1.3 million students took the ACT test while only .313 percent achieved a perfect score in all subject areas, according to a news release.
He was recognized at the Aug. 24 governing board meeting.
Lageschulte has always been a good test taker. He previously attended Copperwood Elementary School, also in the Peoria Unified School District, and participated in their Center for Differentiated Instruction program for gifted students.
As a sixth-grader, Lageschulte traveled to Ironwood High School to take math. Although his future plans are still undecided, he has a strong interest in STEM-related or cybersecurity fields.
The ACT is a standardized test for high school achievement and college admissions. While there have been more students meeting all four ACT college readiness benchmarks over the past several years, the average ACT composite has remained essentially unchanged. The national average composite score for 2022 was 19.8. The ACT is scored on a scale of one to 36, with 36 being the highest possible score.
