A total of 1,598 students in Cherokee County’s six high schools took the exam this year; all six schools ranked in the top 20 percent statewide, officials said. The ACT tests students in four subject areas —English, mathematics, reading and science — and scores them on a scale of 1-36.
“Outstanding ACT scores not only reflect the dedication of our students and teachers to ensuring mastery of knowledge, but also are a reliable indicator that our students graduate prepared for college and career success,” Cherokee County schools Superintendent Brian V. Hightower said.
