More Louisiana high school students are earning college-ready ACT scores.
The Department of Education said today that more than 23,000 students scored an 18 or higher this year. That’s almost 1,500 more students than last year who scored well enough on the exam to enter college without remedial work.
The number of graduates who scored well enough to earn scholarships through the state TOPS program also increased by more than 1,000 students.
