170 Norfolk Public School’s students have earned national recognition for their achievements on the PreACT 8/9 exam.
The PreACT Rising Stars program honors students who score in the top half of all U.S. 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 instruction strategies and demonstrating to students that college could be in reach should they decide to pursue that path.
“We are incredibly proud of our students for their outstanding performance on PreACT and for being recognized through the Rising Stars program,” Settles said. “PreACT is an important practice tool that can help our students prepare for future standardized testing, helping our students to build confidence and develop essential test-taking skills.”
The PreACT Rising Stars program recognizes students at three levels:
• Distinguished Scholars Award, recognizing students who score in the top 3% of test takers by U.S. Rank.
• Rising Scholars Award, for students who score in the top 4-10% of test takers by U.S. Rank.
• Early Scholars Award, honoring students who score in the top 11-50% of test takers by U.S. Rank.
At Norfolk Public Schools, the total number of students who achieved each of these recognitions includes:
• Distinguished Scholars Award, received by 9 students.
• Rising Scholars Award, received by 28 students.
• Early Scholars Award, received by 133 students.
Students who qualify for the Distinguished Scholars Award received a lapel pin and certificate; Rising Scholars Award recipients received a lapel pin and certificate; and Early Scholars Award winners received a certificate.
