State Scores

The State ACT® Test Scores

Notes:

1) These statistics may differ from those in state and federal accountability results. They were calculated for all students tested who were in their third year of high school. Home school students were excluded from the calculations.

2) If the number tested is less than 10, no other statistics appear.

3) Two achievement levels exist for the ACT: Ready and Not Ready.

4) All scale scores except Writing are reported on a 1-36 scale. The Writing scale score ranges from 2-12.

5) On May 15, 2017, ACT, Inc. communicated the following to all districts: "Some students experienced technical issues during the online administration of the ACT. These issues may have created disruptions or distractions, altered the timing of the tests, led students to change their test-taking strategy, or had other impacts. The scores from an administration where technical problems occurred may not be an accurate reflection of a student's knowledge or skills. Technical issues that occurred during online testing may have compromised the validity of some student scores."


Descriptions of Achievement Levels:

Two achievement levels are identified for The ACT®: Ready and Not Ready. These achievement levels are based on ACT's College Readiness Benchmark Scores. Students that meet or exceed the benchmark score are "Ready;" those below the benchmark are "Not Ready." A student scoring at the benchmark has approximately a 50% chance of receiving a grade of "B" or better and a 75% chance of receiving a "C" or better in the corresponding introductory college course.

The ACT Composite Score is the average of the ACT English, Mathematics, Reading and Science scores. The Composite Score is reported on a 1-36 scale. Benchmark scores are only available for English; Mathematics; Reading; Science; and the Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) composite.
