Southern Door junior Ben Grota proved that the nearly impossible is possible when it comes to the ACT.
The district announced this week that Grota registered a perfect score of 36 on the college entrance exam. Out of approximately 1.4 million students who take the ACT, only 0.25 percent earn a perfect score. The overall average score on the ACT is 20.6, which is higher than Wisconsin’s score of 19.4.
It was just the beginning of a week of big accomplishments for Grota. In addition to being named one of the top athletes at the Door County Classic track meet, Grota was named to the 2024 Wisconsin State Honors Band as one of its bassoon players. In October, he will join alto singer Ellie Engerson at the Wisconsin State Music Conference in Madison.
