it depends where OP's kid wants to go. there are nearly 4000 colleges in US and you can get accepted to many of them with a 25. but op's kiddo will have a hard time getting into top 100 (even 200) school with that score. keep in mind even umd's low 25%tile is 29.


Maryland's test scores are high in relation to the school's rank. My DC got into schools ranked around 60-70 with a 30 ACT, 3.4 GPA and almost no ECs. A kid with great grades and ECs and an average ACT would probably have similar or better results. (Average ACT in DC's competitive HS is usually around 26, so not sky high).
