This isn’t true. All public school students are required to take the standardized tests- LEAP & whatever other ones are out there. The ACT is not a standardized test.
Actually, in Louisiana and other southern states, Alabama for example, the ACT is part of a high school’s school performance score and is a standardized test for all students in that state. All 11th graders take the ACT during a regular school day and that score counts in the school’s results. Is it flawed? Absolutely. ACT has even come out and said that its test should not be used as a factor in determining school performance, but the states do what they want.
