Colton Pozniak, son of Jeffrey and Jennifer Pozniak and a junior at Kimberly High School (KHS), has earned something extraordinary - a perfect score of 36 on the ACT test. Nationally, while the actual number of students earning a composite score of 36 varies from year to year, on average, less than one-tenth of 1 percent of students who take the ACT earns the top score.
"It's a great accomplishment for me and I know my family is proud," said Colton. "I look forward to the doors it'll open up, and I'm glad that my work has paid off."
The ACT consists of English, mathematics, reading, and science tests. Each test is scored on a scale of 1-36, and a student's composite score is the average of the four test scores.
ACT test scores are accepted by all major U.S. colleges. Exceptional scores of 36 provide colleges with evidence of student readiness for the academic rigors that lie ahead. Following high school, Colton plans to attend a 4-year college and pursue a career in engineering.
