According to the release, 177 WHS students took the ACT. The average score in English was 18.55; mathematics' average was 20.66; reading's average was 19.97; and the average in science was 20.47.
Only nine states, including North Dakota, tested 98-100 percent of high school students. Of the nine states, North Dakota's composite score of 20.7 is the second highest, missing by .2 points to Illinois, who scored 20.9.

“The results, while lower than in previous years, reflect the abilities of all North Dakota graduates, not just a select few college-bound students,” State Superintendent Dr. Wayne G. Sanstead said.
All students take the test; that is very, very impressive.
