Abstract	This report looks at the progress of the ACT®-tested 2019 US high school graduating class relative to college and career readiness. The data in this report are based on nearly 1.8 million graduates--52% of the students in the 2019 national graduating class--who took the ACT at some time from grade 10 to 12. The ACT was taken by the majority of 2019 graduates in 26 US states. In 17 of those states, the ACT was taken by all or virtually all graduates, typically as part of a state-funded assessment program. This year's ACT score data--as well as five-year trends--confirm that students with higher levels of academic preparation are maintaining or slightly improving their readiness, while students with lower levels of academic preparation are falling further behind. To help ensure all students are college and career ready, ACT recommends the following for education stakeholders and policymakers: (1) Ensure that all students take rigorous academic courses; (2) Give educators resources to personalize instruction according to students' individual needs; (3) Assess student learning and implement improvement strategies throughout students' education careers; and (4) Ensure that students' education is holistic and addresses the needs of the "whole learner."
