Wednesday, August 18th, 2010 -- 10:09 AM
Average ACT scores for Wisconsin students dropped to the lowest point since 1996, but still remain among the highest nationwide. The average composite score for Wisconsin students who graduated this spring was 22.1 out of 36, down from 22.3, where it had been the past three years. The national average this year was 21. Among the 27 states where at least 50 percent of students took the test, Wisconsin's score was tied with Nebraska for third behind Minnesota at 22.9 and Iowa at 22.2. Sixty-nine percent of Wisconsin students took the test. The results were released Wednesday by the independent, nonprofit ACT.Feel free to contact us with questions and/or comments.
