The Diocese of Houma-Thibodaux high schools 2019 graduating class exceeded the state average in all areas of the ACT, and they have increased as a diocese in math, science and English, according to the District ACT College Readiness Results.
“Our district composite score of 23.5 exceeds the 18.8 state average composite by 4.7 points,” Superintendent Suzanne Delaune Troxclair said. “These results are the tangible proof of the dedication and hard work of a great many teacher-ministers, staff and students.”
The ACT report reflects the achievement of graduates on the ACT over time, and an indication of the extent to which they are prepared for college-level work. All 344 graduating seniors from the three diocesan high schools (Central Catholic, E.D. White and Vandebilt Catholic) took the ACT exam, and their results in all testing categories (English, mathematics, reading and science) exceeded the state averages by a minimum of three points.
The average scores in each subject according to the 2019 ACT readiness results: English, Diocese 24.7, State 18.7; Mathematics, Diocese 21.9, State 18.2; Reading, Diocese 24.2, State 19.2; Science, Diocese 22.7, State 18.7.
Diocese of Houma-Thibodaux students posted above-average scores in every category and overall in 2018 for the ACT, too.
“A Christ-centered environment that fosters academic success is the collaborative effort of all of our schools,” Troxclair said. “We look forward to the intentional work of preparing our students for their colleges and careers, embracing our responsibility to form our students so that they are prepared to continue the mission of the Catholic Church as adult members of society.”
