ACT Aspire has been replaced by the ATLAS Summative Exam for the 2023-2024 School Year.
ACT Aspire is the assessment selected by the State of Arkansas as part of its ESSA accountability program. Students in grades 3-10 are given a summative assessment in the spring of each year in English/Language Arts, Mathematics and Science. Additionally, teachers and schools can choose to use the Aspire Interim assessments to measure on-going student progress.
