Wisconsin continues to be a national leader in ACT scores. Schools in the Fox River Valley lead the state in ACT scores. Fox Valley Lutheran students continue to outperform both the state and national averages.
Last year FVL students who took the recommended core courses to prepare themselves for college scored an average of 23.2 on the ACT. This accounts for 64 percent of the senior class. The state average is 22.3, while the national average is 21.2.
The graph at the right shows how FVL students compare to state and national scores on this well-recognized national test.
These high scores demonstrate the Lord's blessings on the educational efforts of the entire FVL Schools system. The scores are a tribute to the hard work not only of the students, but also of their parents, elementary and high school teachers.
The ACT exams are standards used nationwide by schools to judge the quality of the education they offer. Man-made tests cannot judge the quality of a Christ-centered education, but can provide important information about the quality of instruction students are receiving in vital subjects.

Over the past five years, the average of
all FVL students who have taken the test
is 23.1; for students who have taken the recommended core courses the average
is 23.9. These tests are another indication that FVL does a solid job in preparing
its students for schooling on the post-secondary level. |
