The vision of the Eau Claire Area School District is to prepare all children for post-secondary success. The ACT is the preferred acceptance test in the midwest. All juniors will be given the ACT test during the school day in the spring. This assessment will be free of charge to these students. No registration is required for this session. Registration procedures will be completed by the school. There are additional ACT test dates available to students (a student can take the test multiple times) but only the one given during the school day will be free of charge. See the ACT website for more information.
