Iola public schools have aced the test, for the second year in a row. Iola eighth-graders have once again scored above the national average on the ACT Explore Test, a preparation exam for the ACT that is required to attend most colleges in America. As a class, Iola’s eighth-graders scored above the national average in all four academic sections - English, math, reading and science.
While the average score in reading was 14.6 percent for this year’s Explore takers nationwide, Iola’s Explore takers averaged 15.9. The Register reports that trend held steady throughout the three other academic areas. The ACT precursor exams is built and formatted in the same fashion as the 52-year-old college-readiness test, but on a graduated scale of difficulty.
