Andrew Adams, senior at Lufkin High School, recently earned the highest possible ACT score of 36. Fewer than half of 1 percent of students who take the ACT earn a top score. The ACT consists of tests in English, mathematics, reading and science, each scored on a scale of 1–36.
In a letter to Andrew, ACT CEO Marten Roorda stated, “Your achievement on the ACT is significant and rare. Your exceptional scores will provide any college or university with ample evidence of your readiness for the academic rigors that lie ahead.”
Andrew is a programmer for the Lufkin Pantherbots robotics program. He participates in an internship with Lockheed Martin and the SFA STEM Academy. He would like to attend Rice University and pursue a career in Computer Science.
