Are these 9th grade ACT scores good?

Yes, that’s definitely an above average score for most 9th graders. However, if you are hoping to shoot for top 50ish schools, you should probably try to bring it up by the time you apply to college. You still have two years!

To put it in a bit of perspective (or maybe not, I don’t know) I got a 26-27 (I don’t remember exactly) when I took the ACT in 7th grade through the Duke TIP program. I have a friend who took it this year (9th) and got a 29. So, I think you should be fine, especially since you’ve only taken Alg I and Geometry, and the ACT covers through Alg II, and maybe a little bit of Precalc.
