Additional note:
Incoming students are tested in reading and math at the beginning of the school year to establish a
baseline for ability grouping and to measure progress.
Another measure of academic success can be measured by students’ success on the ACT test. PACT
Charter School is committed to preparing students for college and life-long learning and encourages
students to take the ACT sometime during the spring of 11 th grade. When feasible, the school
dedicates funds to assist students with the fees associated with taking the test. The following table
and charts represent trend comparison data of average ACT scores for PACT students.
