âYour class standing with your GPA is important, but the ACT is the one our universities and colleges look at for some serious scholarship money. One of the more important factors of the ACT is knowing where kids stand nationally, but it means scholarship money and opportunities,â said Monroe County Superintendent of Education Brian Jernigan.
For the Monroe County School District, ACT prep is embedded at each campus for English and Algebra II. With that, the structure and sample questioning of the ACT test is embedded in classes. Some district campuses also offer ACT courses.
