I'll begin this post with an encouraging note: You don't need ACT scores to get into college. With hundreds and hundreds of test-optional colleges, you can get into some great schools with low ACT scores or no ACT scores. And if the ACT isn't to your liking, you might find that the SAT is a better test for your skill set. Nearly every college that requires test scores will accept either the ACT or SAT.
That said, at the majority of the country's most selective and prestigious colleges and universities, the admissions folks are going to want to see strong test scores. What exactly is a strong test score? These articles can help:
