More Wisconsin students take ACT (Wisconsin Radio Network)

Wisconsin’s top teacher expresses pride in the record amount of students taking the ACT test.

Seventy-percent of our state’s 2007 high school grads took the ACT college admissions test during high school, compared to 68% in 2006.

“They represent the highest percentage of students to take the ACT ever in Wisconsin history.”

Wisconsin had more than 46,000 of its 2007 graduates take the ACT. And State Superintendent Elizabeth Burmaster boasts, their average composite score of 22.3 is higher than the seven-year trend of 22.2, and tied with Iowa for second place in the nation.
