OCHS Class of 2010 Ties Record ACT Composite Score

The Owensboro Catholic High School Class of 2010 tied the highest composite ACT score in school history with a 22.6. The National average composite score was a 21.0; the State composite was a 19.4.




Kurt Osborne, interim Principal at OCHS had this to say about the scores, “Today, I am proud to announce that the class of 2010 has equaled last year’s record setting numbers. With an average composite of 22.6, this ties our best ever score set the previous year. And, even more impressive, every single member of the graduating class of 2010 took the ACT.”



Osborne continued by saying “Scores can and will fluctuate from year to year so ACT recommends looking at 5 year trends, instead of focusing on year to year scores. Looking at those trends, even with the occasional dip in scores the overall trend for ACT scores is up. But even more important than getting caught up in numbers is exactly what these numbers tell us. They tell us that our students are more prepared for freshman college classes and that across the system our teachers are preparing students for the academic challenges they will face in the future. They tell us that our students continue to work hard in the classroom, and with test preparation and that our parents emphasize the importance of rigorous coursework and adequate test preparation.



While we are proud of the accomplishments that we as a school have made in this area, we are far from resting on our laurels. There is always room for improvement, and we as a faculty continue to assess our curriculum to make those improvements in all areas. This assessment will further prepare our students for college, and as a result, raise ACT scores.”
