"More California students in the class of 2009 than ever before took the ACT college entrance exam, and they outperformed their peers nationally, according to the nonprofit organization that administers the test.
'I am pleased to see that a record number of California students this year took the ACT college readiness exam,' said state Supt. of Public Instruction Jack O'Connell. 'This continued increase is a clear indication that each year growing numbers of our students are setting and reaching a higher standard and making the decision to go on to college.'"
