Way to early to be worrying about an ACT score in 8th grade. If he got a 30 composite as an 8th grader, my guess is that your son will do just fine when the time comes. But be advised, a high ACT (or SAT) score doesn’t mean much if you are gunning for elite schools. All it does is check one of many boxes that need to be checked. I say this as a parent of a kid who got a 36 on the ACT on the first try in October of Junior year.
