ACT Scores (CA only)

This database contains ACT scores for California school districts and schools.  The ACT is designed to assess high school students' general educational development and their ability to complete college-level work. The ACT test covers four subject areas: English, mathematics, reading, and science. Each subject area test receives a score ranging from 1 to 36.  Years reported refer to the first year of a traditional academic year, i.e., 2012 reflects test scores from the 2011-2012 academic year.  CDE reports the category "Average score" to zero decimal places in some years; other years contain two decimal places.  CDE began to report Average scores in reading, math, and science in 2018.

In addition, reported enrollment figures thru 2013 reflect only 12th grade; reported enrollment in 2014 reflects the entire school or district.  As a result, data from 2014 to the present may decrease sharply.
