Parents/Guardians of 10th, 11th, and/or 12th grade students: In an effort to help any college-bound student reach their post-secondary goals, we will be offering the opportunity for 10th-12th grade Crane students to take the ACT at Crane High School during the school day. This will take place on March 11, 2025. The cost for the test is $54, a savings of $11 off the regular price. It is the policy of Crane R-III High School to reimburse the ACT test-taking fee to those students who, on their first attempt, score at or above the most recent Missouri State Average score on the ACT test. Crane High School will also, on subsequent attempts, reimburse the fee if a student improves upon their best score.
Some advantages of taking the ACT at school during the day:
1. You do not need to find transportation to an ACT location on a Saturday.
2. The location is guaranteed. They won't close the site due to low numbers like they can for National testing.
3. It is cheaper than a National test ($54 compared to $65 for the exact same test)
4. You can improve your score the more times you take the ACT. Most colleges accept super scores. Your superscore is the average of your best scores from each subject from multiple test attempts.
If you would like your student to participate in this testing opportunity, please complete the attached form (https://forms.gle/TGti6VdgxQ2rBec87) and pay your $54 fee to the high school office by January 28th. If you have questions, contact Mrs. Mullins at mullinsm@crane.k12.mo.us or call 417-723-5300 ext 718.
