This average score stands at 1.0 points higher than the average state score, and 1.4 higher than the average national score. It is unusual for average scores to improve when the percentage of students taking the exam grows like it did from 2007 to 2008. The ACT scoring scale is from 1 to 36.

There are four subtests on the ACT - English, Math, Reading, and Science. As has been the case for the past five years, District students scored well above the state and national averages on each of the four subtests.
