Students in 7th grade who qualify for the Duke Talent Identification Program are invited to take the ACT or SAT.  This is the actual ACT or SAT that high school juniors or seniors take for college entrance. In 2018 scores, the Louisiana average for high school seniors was 19.5, and the national average for high school seniors was 21.0.  Of the 17 Lake Castle 7th graders who took the ACT, 14 of them scored an 18 or higher. 5 students scored 18; 3 scored 19; 1 scored 20; 1 scored 22; 2 scored 23; 1 scored 25; and 1 scored a 27.
