5 (Milwaukee) Nicolet students achieve perfect ACT scores

Erin Richards:

ACT Inc. has a standard characterization for how many students across the country earn a perfect 36 composite score on its flagship college admissions exam: less than 0.1% of more than 1 million test takers annually.

This year, Nicolet High School is hosting an unusually large number of them.

Superintendent Rick Monroe reported Monday that two juniors, twin sisters Alexandra and Rachel Heuer, earned scores of 36 on the exam.

Junior Ben Lawton learned earlier this year that he earned a perfect ACT score.

So did seniors Nancy Gao and Annie Jen, who is 15.

Jen's twin brother, William Jen, who has similarly fast-tracked high school to become a senior before he can drive, just missed membership in the elite club. He scored a 35 on the ACT, according to Monroe.

Nicolet high school's annual report (2012) PDF. Nicolet high schools 2012 budget was $19,016,495 for 1310 students, or $14,516/student. Madison spends $14,242/student, including pre-k.
