The Juneau School District provides funding for all students to take a College- or Career-Readiness Assessment (CCRA). The approved career-readiness assessment is WorkKeys; the approved college-readiness assessments are the ACT or the SAT. Students choose which assessment best fits their post-secondary path.

The Juneau School District will pay for one administration of one College- or Career-Readiness Assessment (CCRA) per student while the student is in grade 11. High school students may take the assessment during the scheduled school day(s) of administration.

All grade 11 students are provided the opportunity to take a CCRA; students choose which of the three assessments they will take.

School counselors and teachers will share information with students on the differences between the tests. The following websites provide parent information for each assessment:

WorkKeys: http://www.act.org/content/act/en/job-seekers-and-employers.html

ACT: https://success.act.org/s/article/Getting-Started-with-MyACT

SAT: https://bigfuture.collegeboard.org/get-started/for-parents

The Alaska Performance Scholarship (APS) also requires students to take WorkKeys, the SAT or the ACT to earn an award. The APS has different requirements regarding student scores. Please visit http://aps.alaska.gov for more information on qualifying for the APS.
