River Ridge HS junior Reilly Amason earned the top composite score of 36 on the challenging ACT college entrance and placement test. Less than one-half of 1% of the 1.8 million students who take the ACT each year accomplish this feat.

Were so proud of Reilly and all the hard work that led to this outstanding performance, Superintendent of Schools Dr. Brian V. Hightower said, noting that Reilly successfully balances academic achievement with involvement in his school community. Congratulations to Reilly, his family, and his teachers on this success! We look forward to all you will accomplish in the future.

The ACT gauges college readiness and includes English, mathematics, reading, and science sections. Each of these sections is scored on a scale of 1-36, and the composite score is the average of those four sections.
