Alabama Students Improved Performance on ACT Aspire Scores

Alabama students showed progress in most measures during the four years the state used the ACT Aspire standardized tests for students in the grades 3-8 and 10, according to a report by the Public Affairs Research Council of Alabama.

The state began using the ACT Aspire suite of tests in the 2013-2014 school year. It was administered for the final time in 2017.

The PARCA report, released this week, said gains by Alabama students on the Aspire tests were strongest in math. There were modest gains in reading proficiency for grades 3-6, but results were mixed for grades 7, 8 and 10, the report said.

The report includes results of students’ scores statewide, by school systems and in comparison to national averages.
