Enrollment Management Dashboards
Explore ACT data using interactive dashboards designed to inform student recruitment, enrollment, and success strategies.
Superscores Dashboard
Explore superscores for students from the most recent ACT-tested high school graduating class who took the ACT at least twice.
Superscoring combines a student's highest section scores across multiple ACT test attempts. Many colleges and scholarship agencies consider superscores in admission and scholarship decisions.
Included Scores
- Composite Superscore: based on the highest English, math, and reading scores (and science for some students)
- STEM Superscore: based on the highest math and science scores
- ELA Superscore: based on the highest English, reading, and writing scores
- Highest section scores: English, math, reading, science, and writing scores
Key Measures
- Mean scores
- Score distributions
- ACT College Readiness Benchmark attainment rates
College Student Mobility Dashboard
Explore the movement of ACT-tested students across state lines for college. Results are based on first postsecondary enrollment following high school graduation and reflect the most recent ACT-tested graduating class with available enrollment data.
Understanding Student Flows
- Students entering a state: ACT-tested students who attend college in the selected state after graduating from high school elsewhere.
- Students leaving a state: ACT-tested students who graduate from high school in the selected state and attend college in another state.
- Net student flow: The difference between the number of students entering and leaving a state.
Available Information
- Top origin and destination states
- Institution type attended (two-year, four-year public, or four-year private)
- Average ACT scores of entering and leaving students
College Enrollment and Degree Attainment Dashboard
Explore how college readiness measures relate to postsecondary outcomes. Results are available for a pooled multi-state sample as well as individual states with ACT participation rates of 50% or higher. The analyses are based on prior ACT-tested graduating classes. Use the tabs at the top of the dashboard to navigate between enrollment and degree attainment outcomes.
Understanding the Outcomes
College enrollment reflects attendance at a postsecondary institution in the fall following high school graduation.
Degree attainment is reported using two common measures of timeliness:
- 100% of normal time: earning a bachelor's degree within four years or an associate degree or undergraduate certificate within two years.
- 150% of normal time: earning a bachelor's degree within six years or an associate degree or undergraduate certificate within three years.
