WCS Outperforms State on ACT

Published August 14, 2008

Williamson County students continue to outperform their peers on the ACT test.  “I am ecstatic about how well our students continue to perform,” said Director of Schools Dr. Rebecca Sharber. “We have put in place a formula for success and it is working. Our teachers and administrators are to be commended for a job well done, and our students and parents are to be celebrated as well.” 

The ACT test is a graduation requirement for all Williamson County Schools students. The district pays for students to take the test one time.  “Our Composite score was 22.6,  and all of our students took the test. In many other states and school districts only a small percentage of students take the test each year,” said Sharber. “We are celebrating this success, and we are working to make sure the next group of students who take the ACT will also have reason to be proud.”

The scores below reflect the test data of the 2008 graduates and each student’s highest test score.
