Chapman High School principal Kevin Suther has announced that the ACT scores at Chapman High School went up more than two points, breaking the barrier of a 22 average for the overall composite score. The area of reading had an even higher average of 23.6.

Suther stated this is higher than the state and national average. He noted many factors contribute to that, but havingan ACT focused class has helped the Chapman students along with excellent teachers who have taught standards in the classroom that are preparing them for life after high school which for many Chapman students, is college.

Suther added the focus in the state is about creating students who are college and career ready and one of those indicators is the improvement made in the Chapman ACT scores.
