As a result, nearly 35,000 additional Ohio students were provided access and opportunity to college and career readiness though the ACT, representing a 37. 5% increase.  \n• In the 2018 Ohio graduating class, 127,392 graduates (an estimated 100 percent) took the ACT test with a Composite score average of 20.3. This compares to 92,674 in 2017 (75%) with an average Composite score of 22.0 and 91,089 (72 percent) with an average of 22.0 in 2014. Nationally, 55% of 2018 graduates took the ACT with an average Composite score of 20.8.  \n~ There were 13,787 African American graduates from Ohio who took the ACT (11 percent) with an average Composite score of 16.6. This compares to 10,689 (12 percent) with an average of 17. 5, and 10,296 (11 percent) with an average of  \n17.4, for the 2017 and 2014 graduating classes, respectively.  \n~ There were 85,715 White graduates from Ohio who took the ACT (67 percent) with an average Composite score of  \n21.2. This compares to 65,796 (71 percent) with an average of 22 . 8, and 66,313 (73 percent) with an average of 22 . 8, for the 2017 and 2014 graduating classes, respectively.  \n~ There were 6,332 Hispanic graduates from Ohio who took the ACT (5 percent) with an average Composite score of  \n18.8.

This compares to 2,331 (3 percent) with an average of 24 .3, and 1,953 (2 percent) with an average of 24 . 5, for the 2017 and 2014 graduating classes, respectively.  \n• In 2018, 11 percent of Ohio graduates took the ACT with extended time. This compares to 5 and 4 percent of 2017 and 2014 graduates, respectively.  \n• There was a notable increase of 2018 Ohio graduates who scored at the 90th percentile or higher, as compared to 2017 graduates (31 .34%) .  \n© 2018 by ACT, Inc.

Efforts that encourage students to pursue STEM careers are key.  \n• In 2018, 54,546 Ohio graduates (43 percent) indicated having an interest in STEM majors and/or careers.~ Nationally, 45 percent of graduates indicated having an interest in STEM.  \n• Physics is an important preparation for STEM. In 2018, 51,757 Ohio graduates (41 percent) indicated taking Physics.  \n• 2018 graduates taking physics had an average science score of 22 .7, compared to 18.8 for students not taking physics.  \n~ 52 percent of 2018 Ohio graduates taking physics met the ACT Science College Readiness Benchmark, compared to 22 for students not taking physics.  \nImpact  \n• Based on the actual test volume and ACT score distributions of 2018 ACT-tested Ohio high school graduates, ACT research estimates that an increase of 0.1 in state average ACT Composite score for the 2018 graduating class would result in:  \n~ 312 more students enrolling in college.  \n~ 348 more students persisting to year two.  \n~ 259 fewer students needing remedial English.  \n~ 411 fewer students needing remedial math.  \n~ 372 more students persisting to year four.  \n~ 393 more students earning a postsecondary degree within six years.  \nBehaviors that Impact Access and Opportunity  \n• In Ohio, 65,085 of the 2018 graduates (51 .1%) taking the ACT two or more times had an average Composite score of  \n22. 9, compared to an average of 17.6 for 62,307 of the 2018 graduates (48 . 9%) who took the ACT on","cbCaiiBYJRlP1dq3","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiiBYJRlP1dq3","pdf",500349,12,"English","# Performance\n## STEM\n## Impact\n## Behaviors that Impact Access and Opportunity","[{\"question\":\"How is Ohio’s 2018 ACT performance described compared with 2017 and 2014?\",\"answer\":\"The report states 127,392 Ohio graduates took the ACT in 2018 with an average composite score of 20.3, compared with 2017’s 92,674 graduates (average 22.0) and 2014’s 91,089 graduates (average 22.0).
