SUMMARY: Two students from St. Stanislaus in Bay St. Louis achieved perfect ACT scores of 36, a rare accomplishment. Gibson Williams, who started with a score of 35, improved through self-study and practice tests. Zviic Compella, initially struggling with English and reading, improved significantly, especially in those areas. Their success, in a small senior class, highlights their dedication and hard work. Less than a quarter of over 1 million ACT takers achieve a perfect score, placing them in an elite group of top performers. Both students have college plans, with Compella aiming for biomedical engineering and Williams considering finance or accounting.

With Saint Stanislaus’ small senior class, having two students achieve this score was shocking, but it all came from hard work.
