Mercer County educators hope a slight uptick in ACT scores appears after three years of steady results. In 1995 96 high school seniors averaged 19.9, while the national average was 20.9 and the state 20.0. About 50 percent of local seniors take the ACT, many to keep options open for college. West Virginia students perform better in reading and English than science and math.
