One district largely skips SATs
Idaho’s SAT Day scores provide a snapshot that covers most of the state’s high school juniors. But not all of them. All told, 17,470 of Idaho’s 21,367 11 th graders took the SAT on April 12 — an 81 percent participation rate. That rate is high, in part, because SAT Day allows students to take the college-placement exam on the state’s tab. But not every school takes the state up on the $1 million SAT Day offer. Consider Sugar-Salem High School in Eastern Idaho’s Madison County. Only a few students took the SATs in April, Superintendent Alan Dunn said Tuesday. Instead, most other students opted for the ACT — required by nearby BYU-Idaho, the most common destination for college-bound Sugar-Salem students/ Kevin Richert , Idaho Ed News. More here.
Question: Can you remember how well you did on your SATs?
