In Fall 2015, ACT introduced additional test scores and indicators to provide students and educators with more insight into critical aspects of college and career readiness. Tables for these new scores and indicators (Writing scores from enhanced design, ELA score, STEM score, Understanding Complex Texts Indicator, and Progress Toward Career Readiness Indicator) are included in this report to describe available data. To determine where the new scores are summarized in this report, please consult the Table of Contents.

Writing scores from enhanced design: Writing scores from enhanced design describe core writing competencies valued by high school and college educators. These competencies are summarized by the writing scores. The subject-level writing score is reported on ACT’s familiar 1-36 scale. Writing scores earned prior to September 2015 are reported in a separate table.

ELA: The English Language Arts (ELA) score is based upon student scores in ACT English, Reading, and Writing, and is intended to represent a measure of students’ overall literacy skills. This score utilizes ACT’s customary 1-36 scale.

STEM: In response to the national focus on student performance in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM), a STEM score was developed to gauge students’ overall performance in mathematics and science. This score, driven by ACT Matehmatics and Science scores, ranges from 1 to 36. Test scores from previous years have been calculated.

Understanding Complex Texts Indicator: The Understanding Complex Texts indicator represents students' progress toward understanding the complex written material encountered in college and careers. The indicator is reported in three proficiency levels: Below Proficient, Proficient, and Above Proficient.

Progress Toward Career Readiness Indicator: Progress toward career readiness indicator is based upon the ACT Composite score, representing the level at which students perform relative to the National Career Readiness Certificate (NCRC). Symbolizing attainment of workplace employability skills critical to job success, this indicator is reported in four levels: Progress Needs Improvement, Progress Toward Bronze NCRC, Progress Toward Silver NCRC, and Progress Toward Gold NCRC.

This report focuses on:

Performance - student test performance in the context of college readiness

Access - number of your graduates exposed to college entrance testing and the percent of race/ethnicity participation

Course Selection - percent of students pursuing a core curriculum

Course Rigor - impact of rigorous coursework on achievement

College Readiness - percent of students meeting ACT College Readiness Benchmark Scores in each content area

Awareness - extent to which student aspirations match performance

Articulation - colleges and universities to which your students send test results

This report provides information about the performance of your students who took the ACT as part of the State Testing

(Grade 11 Tested Students).

Each year, test data for a school, district, and the state represents a different cohort of students. ACT encourages

educators to focus on trends (3, 5, 10 years), not year-to-year changes. Such changes can represent normal – even

expected – fluctuations. On the other hand, trend lines offer more insight into what is happening in a school, district, or

the state.

Furthermore, ACT encourages educators to measure student performance in the context of college readiness measures.

The focus should be on the number and percentage of students who met or exceeded ACT’s College Readiness

Benchmark Scores, a measure that is much more meaningful and understandable than an average composite score for a

group of students.





The ACT is a curriculum-based measure of college readiness. ACT components include:

Tests of academic achievement in English, math, reading, science, and writing (optional)

High school grade and course information

Every few years, ACT conducts the ACT National Curriculum Survey to ensure its curriculum-based assessment tools accurately

measure the skills high school teachers teach and instructors of entry-level college courses expect. The ACT is the only college

readiness test designed to reflect the results of such a survey.

Only the ACT reports College Readiness Benchmark Scores – A benchmark score is the minimum score needed on an ACT

subject-area test to indicate a 50% chance of obtaining a B or higher or about a 75% chance of obtaining a C or higher in the

corresponding credit-bearing college courses, which include English Composition, Algebra, Social Science and Biology. These

scores were empirically derived based on the actual performance of students in college. The College Readiness Benchmark Scores,

updated in August of 2013, are:

ACT’s College Readiness Standards are sets of statements intended to help students, parents and educators understand the

meaning of test scores. The standards relate test scores to the types of skills needed for success in high school and beyond. They

serve as a direct link between what students have learned and what they are ready to do next. The ACT is the only college readiness

test for which scores can be tied directly to standards. Connecting College Readiness Standards to the Classroom interpretive guides

can be found at www.act.org/standard/infoserv.html.





How to Improve Scores and Increase College Readiness

#250

For more information on interpreting data in this report, or to learn how ACT can help your students improve their readiness for college and the

workplace, contact ACT Customer Service at 847-634-2560 or [email protected].

PLAN GUIDANCE ACTIVITIES BASED ON STUDENTS' CAREER AND COLLEGE ASPIRATIONS: Data in Tables 4.1 and 4.2 enable the reader to

determine if aspirations are consistent with academic performance and whether, among students with similar aspirations, academic performance is

consistent across racial/ethnic groups.

EVALUATING RIGOR OF COURSES: Table 3.1 reports the percentage of students falling in each of the ACT College Readiness Standards score

ranges. For example, approximately 58% of the cohort fall into the lowest three Mathematics score ranges. To increase these students'

achievement, identify the standards they should focus on next by accessing ACT's College Readiness Standards at www.act.org/standard.

20% of your students met all four ACT College Readiness Benchmark Scores (Table 1.1). To improve students' scores and increase the percentage

of students identified as college ready, ACT suggests:

PROVIDING ACCESS FOR ALL STUDENTS TO TAKE THE ACT: 704 of your students are included in this report (the 'cohort'). Increasing access

insures that more students have the opportunity to consider college and allows the reader to use this report to evaluate how well courses and

instructional programs are preparing students for college and work.

MAKING CORE CURRICULUM A PRIORITY: Emphasize the need for all students to develop college and work ready skills, regardless of

postsecondary aspirations. 48% of the students in the cohort reported taking courses that would be considered 'Core or More' (Table 1.4).

MAKING SURE STUDENTS ARE TAKING THE RIGHT KINDS OF COURSES: Table 3.8 reports 8% of the cohort took less than three years of

math courses. Of these students, 17% were college ready. 13% of the cohort reported taking a course sequence of Algebra I, Algebra II, and

Geometry. 10% of these students were college ready. In comparison, 45% of the students who took 3 or more years of math beyond Algebra I,

Algebra II, and Geometry were college ready. Getting more students ready for Algebra prior to 9th grade will increase the chances that students will

be prepared for and take advanced-level math courses.

Similarly, Table 3.8 reports 14% of the cohort took less than three years of natural science courses. 27% of these students were college ready. In

comparison, 34% of students who took at least three years of science coursework were college ready.
