The average composite score among 797,000 students who graduated from high school last spring was 20.6 on a scale of 1-36. American College Testing of Iowa City, Iowa, said in a summary report Monday.
ACT officials said they took heart from the growing success of minority students, who accounted for nearly 21 percent of test-takers in 1991, compared with 21 percent in 1987.
