ACT and SAT Scores Fall

• According to data released by ACT, the national average composite score on the ACT for the high school Class of 2022 was 19.8 - the lowest average score in more than three decades.

• This is the fifth consecutive year of declines in average scores, a worrisome trend that began long before pandemic-related disruptions and has persisted.

• The SAT also saw scores fall this year, with an 2022 average score of 1050 (compared to 1060 for Class of 2021).
