The BCCHS tradition of performing better on the ACT than the Local, State and National averages continues. ACT released the National and the State average scores for the class of 2005.  The Wichita Eagle on August 5, 2005 reported the local average composites of the eight districts bordering Wichita.  The ACT average composite for BCCHS is 23.7; the Local average composite for Wichita is 20.4, Maize 23.0 and Goddard 21.5.  The State average composite is 21.7 and the National average composite is 20.9.

  The Counselors at BCCHS recommend that students who want to improve their ACT scores complete a rigorous curriculum.  To illustrate the difference in curriculums we have listed below the average ACT composite score for BCCHS students who completed the BCCHS required Core Curriculum, Kansas Regent Qualified Curriculum, Kansas Regents Scholar Curriculum and the BCCHS Honors Diploma Curriculum:
