Joshua Corrado, a senior at Twenty-Nine Palms High School has earned the highest composite ACT score of 36.
The ACT is a curriculum-based achievement exam that measures what students have learned in school. Regarding Corrado’s high score, ACT CEO Janet Godwin said, “Earning a top score on the ACT is a remarkable achievement. A student’s exceptional score of 36 will provide any college or university with ample evidence of their readiness for the academic rigors that lie ahead.
For perspective, only about one-quarter of 1% of students who take the ACT earn the top score. In all the U.S. High School graduating class of 2022, only 3376 of the 1.34 million students earned Corrado’s score.
