ACT AspireSCORE REPORTS

Purpose

Is my student on target for high school, college, and career? For most students, reaching their goals includes getting a high school and college education. Preparing for college or workplace training means having access to quality instruction and putting forth their best effort. Your student’s ACT Aspire score report refers to ACT Readiness Benchmarks, ACT Readiness Ranges, and, if he or she is in 8th grade or above, a Progress Towards Career Readiness indicator.
