Fairfield HS Senior Earns Perfect Score on ACT!
Tatum Proffitt, a Fairfield High School senior, scored a perfect 36 composite score — the highest possible — on the ACT, a college-readiness exam widely used to help determine college admission and scholarships. Less than 1 percent of all test-takers achieve a 36 on the ACT exam. The ACT test covers four academic skill areas: English, mathematics, reading, and scientific reasoning. It also offers an optional direct writing test. Tatum scored a 36 in the English and reading sections in June 2021, earned a 36 on the science section in February 2021, and scored a 35 in math and science in June 2021.
CONGRATULATIONS, TATUM!
