ACT Scores Have Remained Static Last 3 Years

From the Tulsa World:

The composite scores have remained fairly static since 2006, improving only .2 points between 2006 and 2007 and remaining steady since then, according to the ACT organization's annual Condition of College and Career Readiness report for 2010. The same is true for the national composite score, which has varied only a few tenths of a point from its current average of 21.0 since 2006.

Now, proponents of State Question 744 will likely tell you that this is exactly why we need to increase education spending (while likely crippling the rest of the budget). However, this graphic from the Andrew J. Coulson of the Cato Institute shows otherwise:

A bit eye-opening, isn't it?

The more intelligent proponents of SQ744 will argue that the ACT test was never meant to be used as a measure of a school's success in educating children. But that is in direct contradiction to the official ACT publication, "The Sensitivity of the ACT to Instruction".

Please educate your family and friends on why they should vote "NO" on SQ744 in November.
