Rosary College Prep Student Earns Perfect ACT Score

Rosary College Prep student Alexandra Jurado, of Aurora, has earned the highest possible composite score of 36 on the ACT test. Jurado, who took the test this past spring, is currently a junior at the Aurora school.

This is a very rare achievement as about 0.25%, or one-quarter of one percent, of students who take the ACT earn a top score. In the U.S. high school graduating class of 2025, only 2,958 out of more than 1.38 million students who took the ACT earned a top composite score, which is the average of the student's English, math, and reading ACT test scores. The last time a Rosary student earned a perfect score was in the class of 2009.

"The Rosary College Prep community is so proud of Alexandra for this exceptional achievement," said Amy McMahon, Rosary's Head of School. "It is a testament to her hard work, intellectual curiosity, and self-discipline. Just as importantly, Alexandra continues to share her talents across the many facets of the Rosary College Prep community – not just academics, but also faith, athletics, and fine arts."

At Rosary, Jurado serves as a Dominican Preacher and is a member of the Campus Ministry Team, Math Team, Mu Alpha Theta Honor Society, Student Ambassador Leadership Team, Tennis Team, Softball Team, Basketball Sideline Cheer Team, and Marmion-Rosary Band.
