low-income students, defined by ACT as those from families earning less than $36,000 a year, scored 17 to 20 points below the all-student average in each area.

so they score between a 0-3 on the ACT?

What I would infer from that is that they are referring to the cumulative total of the four ACT subjects (e.g. math + English + science + reading comprehension).

So say if Johnny, an average test taker, got the following scores:
Math - 26
English - 24
Science - 25
Reading Comprehension - 25

Then his cumulative score would be a 100.

Therefore low-income students are apparently making an 80-83.
