PreACT Results Available in Skyward

In September freshmen and sophomores took the PreACT, an assessment that shows you how well your student is learning the skills needed to be ready for college and a career. Students who completed the Interest Inventory will also see results of Your Education and Career Journey, mapping their coursework and interests into potential career categories. The Results have been loaded into Skyward Family Access. You can view a PDF of your student's report by navigating to the Rpt Cards, Assmnt & Stu Access tab. Test Scores are also available under the Test Scores tab. Students and guardians can use the Using Your PreACT Results document or they can scan the QR code found on your student's PDF. This spring, on Tuesday, April 8, 2025, the freshmen and sophomores will take the online State Assessment, the PreACT Secure. The results from that test will show how much your student has grown in their college and career readiness.
