Hey guys, so I've been trying to gather some stats (out of curiosity and for a school project), and I'm trying to figure out which high school in Illinois has had the most students score perfect on the ACT. Anyone have any leads or know where I could find this data?
While not all high schools publicly report the number of perfect ACT scores amongst their students, it is possible to get a general sense by looking at the overall academic performance and reputations of various schools.
Typically, schools with a larger student population and a strong academic curriculum have a higher chance of seeing perfect ACT scores. For example, in Illinois, schools like Adlai E. Stevenson High School, New Trier High School, and Walter Payton College Prep have a reputation for strong academic performance, so it's likely that they would see a higher number of perfect ACT scores.
However, please note that my suggestions are based on conjecture and correlation. To get the most accurate data, it would be best to reach out directly to the guidance/counseling offices of the schools you're interested in. They may not be able to provide specific numbers due to student privacy laws, but they could probably give you a general sense of their students' academic performance on standardized testing.
Remember, though, this data can change from year to year as it depends on the strengths and abilities of the individual students attending each year. This means trends can shift and previously underperforming schools can see improvements, while high-performing schools might see a dip. Therefore, be sure to constantly update your data to maintain its accuracy.
