The leadership of the Oak Ridge School District is pleased to announce that, once again, our students are performing well above the state average on the ACT in all areas. In the 2016-2017 school year, the overall average composite was a 22.8. Oak Ridge students particularly excel in English on the ACT exam at which Oak Ridge students score about 20% higher than the state average. In addition, over 65% of Oak Ridge students score at or above a 21 on their average composite, as compared to the state average of 42%. Nevertheless, our staff acknowledges a need to continue to improve ACT results. Overall, however, we are very proud of our studentsā results, and we are looking forward to seeing the class of 2018 graduate this next spring and go on to success in college and careers.
