Is it time to drop the ACT? Alabama board of education members said they have been getting complaints from school officials that the ACT isn’t the right test to measure what students have learned.
“They’re saying it’s not really reflective of our students’ knowledge,” Zeigler, a former teacher and principal, said. “It’s more specific for the [students] wanting to go on to the four-year college strand, but it’s not useful for them to see the capabilities of their kid.”
“Some [students] don’t take it seriously because they don’t feel it has any bearing or outcome on anything,” board member Yvette Richardson, D-Birmingham, said. The board would have to replace the ACT with another test, Mackey said, because federal education law requires students to be tested once in high school in reading and math. Developing a new test will take time and money, he said.
