Bolivar Central and Middleton High Schools ACT Results Released

The Tennessee Department of Education released the ACT state results and participation rate for the 2022 graduating class. Participation in the ACT among the 2022 graduating class rebounded from previous years with a participation rate of 98% across the state.

The state average composite ACT score remained steady at 19.1 for the 2022 graduating class. The average score at Bolivar Central High School came in at 16.5 and the average score at Middleton High School was 17.3. According to the ACT, the benchmark for college readiness is a composite score of 21.

The ACT provides important measures to understand students’ college and career readiness and how Tennessee prepares the next generation to transition to postsecondary opportunities. Through Tennessee’s award-winning ACT Senior Retake program, the state offers public high school students the opportunity to take the ACT two times for free during normal school hours.

“Tennessee remains committed to preparing each and every student for success beyond high school in the pathway of their choice,” said Commissioner Penny Schwinn. “Taking the ACT is an important gateway for many postsecondary opportunities and scholarships, and this year’s graduating class rebounded our state’s participation in the ACT to pre-pandemic levels – demonstrating the continued efforts by our districts, schools, teachers, and families to ensure our students are on a path to success.”

Each fall, the department releases statewide ACT results for the most recent graduating class representing each student’s highest ACT score.
