Local SAT Scores

Here are average scores on the Scholastic Assessment Test for 1997 graduating seniors. Scores can range from 200 to 800 in each of the test’s two sections. Comparing high schools based exclusively on averages is strongly discouraged by the testing agency because the percentage of students tested in each school can vary widely.
