1996 SAT Scores
Here are the district average scores on the Scholastic Assessment Test for 1996 graduating seniors in the 50 school districts of Los Angeles County. Scores can range from 200 to 800 in each of the test’s two sections. Comparing districts based exclusively on averages is strongly discouraged by the testing agency because the percentage of students tested in each district can vary widely and skew the averages.

* The 1996 scores have been recalibrated to use a new scoring mechanism and thus are different from those reported last year.
