EXPLANATION: A 36 is a perfect score. A score of 18 is the performance level at which students admitted to college are generally not required to retake high school courses. A score of 21 will earn schools an ‘’A’’ grade in the state’s high school rating system in 2025.

QUOTE: “Although the district was disappointed that our score declined from 18.2 to 18, we are happy to report that the Average Composite ACT increased at four out of five schools in Iberia Parish. Of these 694 testers, 522 earned a composite score of 18 or above, signifying that they are ready for college.” — Superintendent Carey Laviolette
