Minnesota high school graduates continue to beat the national average in the ACT college entrance exam, even though 2012 graduates scored slightly lower than 2011 graduates, MPR reports. Minnesota ranked at the top among states where a majority of students take the test.

When it comes to average scores on the ACT college entrance exam, high school seniors from the Rosemount-Apple Valley-Eagan School District are not only topping other districts in the state, but others in the nation. According to new data, students in District 196 on average received a composite score in 2012 of 24.1, as compared to the state average of 22.8 and national average of 21.1.

The school said their behavior was detrimental to school values.

He's got a year of high school left but most of his classes are already college level. The two computers he built? He'll get around to mastering programming on them, but right now they're for playing games.
