SAT Scores

SAT I: Reasoning Test Scores for Springfield High School 1996-2007

The College Board warning about comparing states and schools: “Media and others often rank states, districts, and schools on the basis of SAT scores despite repeated warnings that such rankings are invalid. The SAT is a strong indicator of trends in the college-bound population, but it should never be used alone for such comparisons because of demographics and other non school factors can have a strong effect on scores. If ranked, schools and states that encourage students to apply to college may be penalized because cores tend to decline with a rise in percentage of test-takers.”

Note: The scores in the table below for the years 1996-2005 are recentered scores. The College Board provided this information for the use of these scores: "In April, 1995, the College Board recentered the score scales for all tests in the SAT program to reflect the contemporary test taking population. Recentering reestablished the average score for a study group of 1990 seniors at about 500--the midpoint of the 200 to 800 scale--allowing students, schools and colleges to more easily interpret their scores in relation to those of a similar group of college-bound seniors. Recentering also simplifies comparisons between students' verbal and mathematical abilities and improves reliability of SAT Program scores and their ability to predict success in college."

In 2006, the College Board revised the SAT exam again; the new test included critical reading to replace the verbal section, a new math section, and a separate writing test.
