Canfield Junior Earns Highest Possible ACT Score
Canfield Junior Earns Highest Possible ACT Score

Canfield Local Schools is thrilled to announce that Tarik Mashqbeh, a member of the class of 2025 at Canfield High School, has achieved the highest possible ACT composite score of 36 on the June 2023 test.

With this achievement, Tarik joins an elite group of students, as only about one-quarter of 1% of students who take the ACT earn a top score. In the U.S. high school graduating class of 2022, only 3,376 out of 1.34 million students who took the ACT earned a top composite score of 36.

Superintendent Joseph Knoll shared his congratulations, stating, "Tarik's achievement reflects not only his dedication but also the commitment to academic excellence we value at Canfield Local Schools. We're incredibly proud of his accomplishment, and it speaks to the high caliber of students within our district."

The ACT consists of tests in English, mathematics, reading and science, each scored on a scale of 1–36. A student's composite score is the average of the four test scores. Tarik scored a 36 on each section as well.

“Earning a top score on the ACT is a remarkable achievement,” said ACT CEO Janet Godwin. “A student’s exceptional score of 36 will provide any college or university with ample evidence of their readiness for the academic rigors that lie ahead.”

The ACT is a curriculum-based achievement exam designed to measure students' knowledge and skills acquired in school. Achieving a perfect composite score of 36 indicates that Tarik has likely mastered all the necessary skills for success in first-year college courses across core subject areas.

Tarik's achievement opens doors to major four-year colleges and universities across the U.S., as ACT scores are widely accepted and recognized by institutions of higher learning.
