According to officials at ACT, nationwide only 193 students from last year's graduating class scored a perfect 36. Nearly 1.2 million students took the test across the country last year. Jennings' score places her in the top 99.99 percent of students nationally.

Jennings also carries a 4.5 GPA and is a top-ten student in her senior class. But Principal Dave Holley said the numbers only begin to tell the story of Molly Jennings.
