ACT Scores Show MLHS Consistently Provides Exemplary Education
Martin Luther High School students’ successes in the classroom are evident through scores on the ACT assessment test. The ACT is a national college admission exam that tests students in English, mathematics, reading and science. Keeping with tradition, MLHS seniors who took the ACT last school year scored higher than the state and national averages in composite scores.
MLHS students have consistently scored above the state and national levels for many years.

The recent release of the ACT scores shows that Martin Luther High School is succeeding in providing not only an education that is Christ-centered, but an education that excels. The ACT focuses on students who complete four years of English & three years or more each of math, social studies & science.
The ACT is a well-matched test for Martin Luther students because the school requires the same number of years, or more, in each of these academic areas with an addition of a fourth year of social studies.
MLHS has added Advanced Biology to the curriculum & also requires all students to take two years of a foreign language. This well-grounded, basic academic program has proven beneficial for the college bound student. ACT scores showed that those students completing this level of coursework scored five points above the national & four points above the state average in reading. In the areas of English, math & science reasoning, MLHS students scored three points above the national & two points above the state average.
MLHS students’ ACT scores have been consistently higher than state and national averages for several years. Scholastic accomplishment continues to be reflected in the ACT scores at MLHS.
The 2008 scores show the local composite for Martin Luther students was 23.8, more than one full point ahead of state average of 22.7 and almost three points ahead of the national average score of 21.1.
Student performance continues to track in an upward trend over the past several years. The chart below shows the sub-categories and local (MLHS) scores compared to state and national averages.

These scores reflect Martin Luther High School’s continued commitment to rigorous curriculum, resulting in success for our students in post-secondary studies. MLHS teachers continue to stress reading and comprehension in all curricular areas. Our students also devote 15 minutes each day to reading for pleasure. Poor reading comprehension is an area which concerns college educators nationwide
