He didn’t really study for the ACT last time and we didn’t realize when we scheduled the date that his FFA national convention would be the preceding week. Apparently he fell asleep during the English portion of the test because he was in Indianapolis all week, they got back Friday night and he took the test Saturday morning. Last I heard he has the highest score so far in his grade at school which is surprising considering that his class has always been a very competitive group. There have been a few people from our school in recent years that scored in the 30’s(not sure how many times they took it).
Oh, we are in Alabama, Northwest Alabama to be more specific. University of North Alabama is about an hour away and Northwest Shoals Community College is about 45 minutes. We are right next to the Mississippi line and about an hour from Tennessee, in the past those states have had agreements that allowed students to cross the state line without paying out of state tuition, not sure if that is still the case. Our town is probably about 3,500 people and the school has somewhere around 65 people per grade(some larger, some smaller), it is a K-12 public school.
It sounds like he really needs a big increase in his test score to have a good range of options.
