The ACT with Writing is the general mathematics, reading/language arts, and science assessment for academic state achievement reporting in Grade 11. The ACT with Writing is aligned to the Montana Content Standards (2011) in Math and English language arts (ELA) and currently under alignment studies to the Montana Content Standards (2016) in Science. It is used to provide state, district, school, and individual student achievement information on the state-adopted content standards in mathematics, ELA, and science. It is used by the state to provide a consistent picture of student proficiency and progress across Montana's public schools and private schools seeking accreditation. It is an important measure for understanding comparisons between schools, over time, and for gaining understanding of equity in educational services.

Score Reporting

Districts and schools can access student level data in ACT Success. The Success site offers a printable copy of the individual student report via the "ACT Test Scores and Reports" tile. High schools will also receive a printed score report for each student no later than mid-July. 

To see how a school is performing over time and compared to other schools in Montana, visit Montana’s longitudinal data warehouse (GEMS). Official state-level results are released annually in the fall, typically around mid- to late September.
