What is ACT ASPIRE? General Information: www.discoveractaspire.org The ACT Aspire is a standards-based system of assessments to monitor progress toward college and career readiness from grade 3 through early high school, connecting each grade level to the next. ACT Aspire helps close the gap between the skills students learn in school and the skills they need to succeed in their academic career and beyond. Birmingham City School students were tested in the following areas: English, Reading, Math, Science and Writing.

Individual Student Report Overview You report can tell you three important things about your child: Where they stand right now – Your child’s report will show their strengths and weaknesses in all 5 subject areas as well as how they preformed in specific skill areas within each subject. You will also see how they compare with other students who took the ACT Aspire. How your child can reach future goals – Your child’s report will also show where they need help and where you may need to challenge them. Is your child on target for high school, college, and a career – The report will reference ACT Readiness Benchmarks which show if they are on track to be successful.
