ACT scores dip in 3 of 5 Pierce County schools

Talk about it

In three of five area schools, graduating seniors who took the ACT college admissions test this year mostly scored a bit lower than their counterparts from a year ago.

In the other two districts, the scores in the two-year comparison were mainly higher for one school and largely the same for the remaining school.

Many of the differences either way were within one point and some were within tenths of a point.
