Reporting ACT High School Code


If examinees test at your school but attend a different home high school, testing staff enter the reporting ACT high school

The examinee’s results will be reported to your school unless another ACT high school code is entered.

If you are unsure of the correct home high school for an examinee, contact your district office. To find high school codes,
go to www.actstudent.org/regist/lookuphs.

Optionally for paper testing, to receive the local ID number in an electronic data file, testing staff may enter this number
(up to ten digits) in Block S. If the local ID number has fewer than ten digits, it will be reported as ten digits with leading
zeros added. Do not enter a SASID number in Block S.
