National ACT average scores are down this year and ACT officials are attributing the drop to the increasing percentage of high school seniors who have taken the test. However, thanks in large part to the ACT Review program installed at Great Bend High School in 2015-2016, not only did 16 percent more students take the ACT at GBHS, but the average composite score maintained from the prior year and even increased from two years ago. Lacy Wolters, career and ACT coordinator at GBHS, hosted ACT study sessions in which more than one-fourth of senior GBHS ACT test takers participated.
