District 202 posts record ACT scores, beat state and national composite scores for the first time since 2005, officials announced Monday.
Seniors at the four high schools in Plainfield School District 202 posted a record-high district score on the ACT college entrance exam, marking the fourth consecutive year test scores rose, district officials announced Monday. “Congratulations to our high school students, staff and families for this tremendous achievement, school board president Roger Bonuchi said at Monday’s school board meeting. “It’s a big deal.” The 1,726 graduating seniors from Plainfield Central, North, East and South high schools taking the test recorded a 21.3 composite score, up from 20.7 the year before. The six-tenths of a percentage point increase is statistically significant because of the relatively small size of the pool of test-takers, Bonuchi said. For …

While the numbers are still below the state and national averages, students cumulatively scored the highest in district history in math, English and science.

NCAA rejects his ACT score of 23, raising suspicions about the five-point increase between the two times he took test.
Kapri Bibbs, Plainfield North’s record-breaking football star, won’t be going to Colorado State University – at least not this fall. Despite being on the honor roll during his last semester of school, the NCAA Clearinghouse rejected his ACT score, which climbed from 18 on his first exam attempt to 23 on his second. Officials questioned the validity of a five-point score increase, Bibbs told the Coloradoan of Fort Collins newspaper. (He needed a 21 or higher to be accepted into the school.) “They said that because I went from an 18 to a 23, there were suspicions, and they voided my score, so I had to go back to my 18,” he said. Bibbs told the paper he plans to enroll in a junior college with the hope of joining the team in fall 2012. Bibbs …
