Atlee Witt of Arapahoe High School.
Littleton Public Schools is proud to announce that two of its high school students earned a perfect composite score of 36 on a recent ACT test. On average, less than one-tenth of a percent of students earn this top score making this an incredible accomplishment for Michael Thurber of Heritage High School and Atlee Witt of Arapahoe High School. According to ACT, “among test takers in the high school graduating class of 2014, only 1,407 of nearly 1.85 million students earned composite scores of 36.”
The ACT is a national exam that consists of tests in English, mathematics, reading and science. While colleges look at other factors in addition to this test, ACT scores play an important role in the admission process.
