ACT Recognizes 92 PreACT Rising Stars at Eisenhower High School

Ninety-two Dwight D. Eisenhower High School 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.

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.

Eisenhower had one Distinguished Scholar, six Rising Scholars and 85 Early Scholars. Congratulations to the following students:

Distinguished Scholar: Lizbeth Suarez Padilla.

Rising Scholars: Diego Molina, Aurora Ramirez, Cynthia Amador, Carleigh Brown, Anya Cole and Janelle Stephens.

The PreACT 8/9 assessment and the Rising Stars program were created to help identify areas of academic strength and opportunity. This assessment provides a starting point to postsecondary pathways, helping educators, students and parents get a better understanding of a student’s college and career readiness early in their academic career.
