Midway High School student gets perfect ACT score
HEWITT, Texas (FOX 44) – Midway High School has announced that one of its students got a perfect score on the ACT exam.
Junior Nandini Kadakia earned a perfect score of 36, placing her among the top two percent of test takers nationwide.
'I was in utter disbelief. I had no idea I could have done that,' Kadakia said.
The Midway Independent School District says Kadakia began preparing for the exam in December, utilizing resources at the school's College and Career Readiness Center. She took the ACT in March and received her results on April 12.
'That was the second time I took the ACT,' Kadakia said. 'To prep, I attended Mrs. Miles' study sessions. She has a really great program that helps a lot. Once I took a practice ACT, I could figure out my weaknesses and strengths.'
The district says in addition to Kadakia's academic achievements, she serves as vice president of the MHS Diversity Council, is a member of HOSA – Future Health Professionals, and is active in theater. She plans to pursue a medical degree after graduating from high school.
'Everyone here at Midway is really supportive,' Kadakia said. 'I could talk to my friends about their test prep strategies, and my math teacher helped a lot.'
Kadakia is one of two Midway High students to achieve a perfect ACT score this year. She joins senior Esther Kim in this accomplishment, marking the eighth time a Midway ISD student has earned a 36 since 2019.
