Wyoming students who graduated high school in 2015 scored slightly higher on the ACT exam than last year’s seniors.
That’s according to a report released Wednesday by the test’s developer, ACT, Inc. Wyoming uses the ACT college entrance exam to measure student achievement.
The average composite score for Wyoming students was 20.2 out of 36—which puts the state in sixth place out of the 13 states where all students are required the ACT.
Wyoming Department of Education Chief Academic Officer Brent Bacon says that’s a slight increase from last year.
