Seventeen students at the same Ohio high school earned perfect ACT scores, an ultra-rare accomplishment, according to a report Tuesday.
Eight seniors and nine juniors at Walnut Hills High School in Cincinnati aced the standardized test with a flawless 36 points — a triumph only one-tenth of 1% of students pull off nationwide, according to the Cincinnati Enquirer.
Another 23 students at the school earned 35 points, just one point shy of perfect, Cincinnati public school officials told the paper.
Nationwide, the average ACT score is 20.8.
“I have never heard of so many students in one school earning a perfect score,” said ACT spokesman Ed Curry.
Seniors with the top-notch scores plan to attend the University of Cincinnati, Ohio State University, Tulane University and Rhodes College, according to a rep for the school.
Walnut Hills High School consistently ranks among the top 100 schools in the US, according to its website.
