Class of 2007 Continues Upward Trend on ACT
August 22, 2007
ACT Scores for MCPS Students Are Above State Averages,
Show Steady Increase Over Four Years
A report outlining the achievement on the ACT assessment of college readiness by the Class of 2007 in Montgomery County Public Schools (MCPS) shows these students performing consistently above Maryland averages in all sections of the test.
Results also show a steady increase in the scores of MCPS students over the past four years as the number of students taking the test also has increased. In 2004, 1,031 MCPS students took the ACT. In 2007, the number increased by more than 700 students to 1,735.
The ACT is taken by some students applying to college as an alternative to the SAT. It consists of assessments in English, mathematics, reading, and science that are designed to measure skills needed for success in first-year college coursework. The average composite score for MCPS students was 23.6, compared to a state average of 21.6. Scores for MCPS students in the four subsections of the test were all nearly two points higher than the Maryland averages.
In the MCPS Class of 2007, 1,735 out of approximately 10,400 graduates took the ACT. Of this group, 82 percent were deemed ready for college English composition, compared to 72 percent statewide; 63 percent are ready for college algebra, compared to 48 percent statewide; 67 percent are ready for college social science, compared to 56 percent statewide; and 46 percent are ready for college biology, compared to 32 percent statewide.
