ACT Testing

On April 4th, all Juniors will take the ACT college readiness test! The ACT test is a national college admissions examination that consists of tests in English, math, reading, and science. Students can benefit from participating in the ACT testing in several ways:

  • Students will receive information showing strengths and weaknesses in tested subject areas
  • College and career planning component help student determining career interests, college majors, and occupational fields
  • Students can choose up to four colleges to send scores for free
  • Students are eligible to positively impact their semester grades in ELA courses aligned to the ACT: ELA 3-4, ELA 3-4H, ELA 5-6 (including dual enrollment), and AP Language.
  • Students are eligible to positively impact their semester grades in Math courses aligned to the ACT: Geometry 1-2, Geometry 1-2H, Algebra 3-4, and Algebra 3-4H

Since the ACT is a timed test students who are late to campus will complete the exam on the makeup days. Students who miss the ACT test on April 4th are required to complete it on makeup days. ACT makeup days are April 5th, 6th, and 7th.

Junior students who ride regular or special service buses will catch their bus at the regular time.
