September 5, 200818 yr Beechwood tops NKy in ACT test scores From Nky.Com Scores released Thursday from the ACT exam taken last spring by the state's 42,929 public school juniors produced mixed results for 21 Northern Kentucky high schools. Thirteen of the schools scored above the state average composite score of 18.3. Scores ranged from a high of 23.5 (Beechwood High School in Fort Mitchell) to a low of 16.4 (Holmes High School in Covington). Click on the top of this link for the rest of the story! Congrats to Beechwood, not only good on the football field but also in the classroom! BTW from what I could find out NDA and CovCath both had composite scores in 2007 of 24.1. To be honest however, I am not sure if the score was for the entire school or just for Seniors!

To be honest however, I am not sure if the score was for the entire school or just for Seniors! Had to get that last part in didn't you!! The public school results were for HS juniors. Did you ever think that ACT scores also have a lot to do with the social economics of the school district. I think everyone here knows that you consider Catholic education the only right way to show your child you truly care. The fact is that a lot of Catholics in NKY chose to send their children to good Public Schools. I'm sure you would be appalled at the number of Catholic Parents who choose to send their children to Beechwood, Highlands, and other high ranking public schools. Guess what! They get a good education and sometimes they even turn out to be good people!:argue:
September 5, 200818 yr Highlands composite was 24.1 last year. They must soared in the fall and dropped off below 23.5 in the spring to average that.
September 5, 200818 yr Here's a link to the scores of all participating schools in Kentucky: http://datacenter.courier-journal.com/schools/kentucky/tests/act/
September 5, 200818 yr Highlands composite was 24.1 last year. They must soared in the fall and dropped off below 23.5 in the spring to average that. Actually that was for a different group! Then again I am a Catholic educated by the public schools, I'm probably wrong or misinformed or just plain unloved as are my children. It is very difficult for the lay person to continually compare scores because so many results are for different groups of students. The only thing that they seem to be consistent is that the same schools are continually at the top. Social Economic are a MAJOR factor here! A question here, where do I get the results for the Private Schools? Are they published for the general public or are they a "secret" only for the eyes of the chosen?

All I did copy and paste the newspaper article, pat Beechwood on the back and look at the web page of both CovCath and NDA to see how they did and reported it. :confused::confused: So where did I take a pot shot at the public shcools?

He didn't heckle the public schools. He recognizes BW and HHS as fine academic institutions and has said so. I think HHS and BW's combination of football prowess and academics actually hurts CCH. You point out that many Catholics send their children to these schools when they could send them to CCH or NCC. At $6000+ annually, I get that. Ease up on TOG. He's loyal to the cause but he's not what you're trying to make him out to be. While we will never get this info I'd love to see how the top students at Holmes compared to those at HHS and Beechwood. The gap would be much smaller.

September 5, 200818 yr It always amazes me how smart the elite kids are. I read today that 2 local kids aced the ACT math section. That's nuts!

I don't know about the different groups. It just said last year in the paper. How do they break the groups down? Do they mean time frame or do they actually sub-divide out the student data? Thanks. Not very educated on these tests.
September 5, 200818 yr Thanks Oldguy! We at Beechwood are very proud of our students.:ylsuper: They certainly deserve the praise! :thumb:
September 6, 200818 yr So did I type something wrong? Did I say anything bad about the public schools? All I did copy and paste the newspaper article, pat Beechwood on the back and look at the web page of both CovCath and NDA to see how they did and reported it. :confused::confused: So where did I take a pot shot at the public shcools? The pot shot was were you had to include the self reported scores of CCH and NDA. Every post of yours seems to include how absolutely wonderful and great the students at CCH and NDA are and what great kids they are too. I happen to know that there are a lot of great kids at those schools and a lot of not so great kids and some of them happen to be kids you have applauded in the past. It gets a little old. I'll be glad to PM you when if info the next time you praise someone questionable!! Beechwoodfan your PC is alittle old.:flame: I think I've told you that before:eek:
