This year’s class of Indiana high school seniors averaged higher scores on the ACT college entrance exam than those a year earlier, keeping state scores above a steadily climbing national average.
The average score for Indiana’s class of 2007 was 22.0 on a 36-point scale, an improvement over last year’s average of 21.7, according to scores released Wednesday. The national average score was 21.2 for this year, up from 21.1 last year.
“The latest ACT results show more Indiana students are on track for college than ever before, particularly those who chose to take rigorous academic courses,” said Suellen Reed, the state’s schools superintendent.
