The ACT assessment has proven to be an indication of the extent of which students are prepared for college-level work. York Public Schools is VERY proud to announce that our 2013 ACT score profile has been released and our numbers are well above the state and national averages!
English: York - 22.3 / State - 21.1
Mathematics: York - 21.5 / State - 21.1
Reading: York - 22.8 / State - 21.8
Science: York - 22.3 / State - 21.5
COMPOSITE: York - 22.4 / State - 21.5
The “Composite” score serves as an “overall” score that summarizes your total score in all curricular areas.
ACT research has shown that it is the rigor of coursework; rather than simply the number of core courses; that has the greatest impact on ACT performance and college readiness.
Students who take more advanced courses substantially increase their ACT scores.
York students that took Algebra, Geometry, Trigonometry, and Calculus scored an average of 23.4 on the ACT Math test.
York students that took Biology, Chemistry, and Physics scored an average of 25.3 on the ACT Science test.
Way to go York Dukes! Keep up the great work!
