ACT Scores On The Rise

Thayer R-2 ACT scores are on the rise. We are proud to announce that the Thayer R-2 School District is above the national average for the ACT test with a 21.6 average composite score. This compares with the national average of 21.1. Thayer also had two students who scored 31 or more on the ACT.  This places them at the 96th percentile, meaning they scored better than 96% of the students nationally who took this test. Being in the top 4% in the nation qualifies them for Bright Flight Scholarships along and acceptance to many prestigious universities.

The ACT is a national college admissions examination that consists of subject area tests in: English, Mathematics, Reading, and Science. ACT results are accepted by all 4-year colleges and universities in the U.S. and are used to show college readiness and are used as acceptance criteria by many universities.

The ACT includes 215 multiple-choice questions and takes approximately 3 hours and 30 minutes to complete.
