ACT State Testing

The ACT assessment is a curriculum- and standards-based educational planning tool that assesses students’ academic readiness for college. The ACT is administered to all students classified as eleventh grade students during the academic year.  Ungraded students whose birthdays link them to the cohort of students identified as eleventh grade students will also be included.
