MCDONOUGH – Henry County Class of 2020 seniors did not let the national pandemic stop their progression on the ACT, one of the nation’s standardized tests used for college admissions.
Overall, district scores increased in all subject areas as well as the composite score while also outpacing the national performance change from 2019 to 2020. As a district, Henry County Schools matched or outpaced the state change in four of the five reporting areas.
