Who takes these tests

These numbers are the Montana public school juniors who took the ACT with Writing, by the school where they tested: the ACT's ELA score (English, reading and writing), and its math and science scores. Montana hides any group of 5 or fewer students; a school whose hidden levels can't be worked out exactly from what is shown is left out of that year's list (about 7% of test takers), and every student is in the statewide results.

Score ranges are the state's own published cut scores; percentiles are statistical estimates from public performance-level data published by Montana Office of Public Instruction (GEMS): ACT with Writing.
