I am encouraged by this year's three-point gain and look forward to seeing continued improvement as we work together to increase student achievement. A description of this test can be located in Appendix B of this report. Students taking the SAT do not include all students in a high school. Neither the state nor school districts are involved in funding or selecting the students who take this test. Instead, SAT is administered by The College Board, a private company, and students register to take the test directly with The College Board.
High schools provide information to students about the test and registration forms.
This report reflects reported scores for seniors who anticipated graduating in 1999. If students take the SAT more than once, the most recent score is used in the summary score report. Data are summarized for seniors in the nation, in South Carolina, in the 86 school districts and in high schools in the state. The national and state summaries include seniors enrolled in both public and private high schools. School district and high school data summaries in this report include only public schools in the state.
