A local eighth-grade student earned the highest possible ACT composite score.
Anika Gulati, a student at Rachel Carson Middle School (13618 McLearen Road), is one of less than 0.5 percent of students to earn a top score. In last year’s high school graduating class in the United States, only 4,879 of the 1.8 million students who take the test earn the top score.
Aparajita De, Gulati’s mother, said her 13-year-old daughter took the test “out of curiosity.”
” She wanted to see how the test is and how she fares in each of the different sections of the test,” De said.
Composite scores are derived from the average of test scores in English, math, reading and science.
