5 Lincoln-Way East Students Earn Perfect Score On ACT

FRANKFORT, IL — Five students at Lincoln-Way East have achieved a perfect 36 score on their ACTs this spring, Lincoln-Way District 210 shared with Patch.

The students are: Logan Fox, Tiag Hertsberg, Kaitlyn Poidomani, Anthony Russotto and Felix Sacks.

"This is a huge accomplishment, and we are super proud of these students for their hard work and dedication to their academics," the District said.

Illinois just switched back to giving the ACT to all juniors, after many years of requiring the SAT, the District said.

It is estimated that less than one percent of those who take the ACT earn a perfect score. According to ACT's data, last year, the average score in Illinois was a 24.5. Different universities have different requirements for ACT scores, but ACT said the average ACT for admitted students at Harvard University is 34.
