FRANKFORT, Ky.
The ACT test results are in and Kentucky students in public schools have a composite score of 18.3.
The scores from last spring's test were released Thursday. It is the first time the state required all juniors in public schools to take the test, which encompassed nearly 43,000 students.
The ACT test measures pupils' English, reading, math and science skills. Scores are measured on a 1 to 36 scale.
Kentucky Department of Education spokeswoman Lisa Gross says the data helps schools and students determine what subject areas could use improvement. Gross says the test may steer some students toward college based on their scores.
