Louisiana Public School’s ACT scores are on the rise! According to data released by the Department of Education. The graduating class of 2017, which included 25,704 public school graduates earned a score of 18 or higher while the class of 2012, only had 18,307 graduates achieve this level. That makes a phenomenal increase of 7,397 students over the last five years.

Not only does an ACT score of 18 or higher allow the students’ admission intoto college without the need to retake high school classes but it also helps to qualify them for the Taylor Opportunity Program for Students (TOPS) scholarship that also grew at every level of the scholarship award this year.

This is a wonderful accomplishment for not only these students but the hard working teachers of Louisiana Public Schools.
