104 Dominican Students Earn Distinguished and Rising Recognition from PreACT

One hundred and four St. Mary’s Dominican High School students earned Distinguished and Rising recognition for their achievements on the PreACT® assessment. In its inaugural year, the PreACT Rising Stars program honors students who score in the top half of all US students who take the PreACT 8/9 assessment. That exam provides a preview of the ACT test experience, along with a highly reliable prediction of how students might perform on the ACT. The information is critical in helping schools adjust learning plans and demonstrating to students that college is a viable option.

The PreACT Rising Stars program recognizes students at three levels: Distinguished Scholars Award, recognizing students who score in the top 5% of test takers; Rising Scholars Award, for students who score in the top 6-15% of test takers; Early Scholars Award, honoring students who score in the top 16-50% of test takers.

Dominican students who earned the highest scores for the Distinguished Scholars Award are Maya Parker (9th grade), Madelyn Nguyen (10th grade), and Valentina Smith (10th grade).
