Anyone else's school mildly insane?

<p>Apparently national/state/school percentiles are available for all SAT scores. Check this out...</p>

<p>CR: 690
National percentile: 94
State percentile: 94
School percentile: 48 (la-what?)</p>

<p>Writing: 800
National percentile: 99
State percentile: 99
School percentile: 86</p>

<p>I've concluded my school is mildly insane. How do your stats compare with your state/school?</p>

<p>My school’s average is 1610 for the class of 2010. I have the highest SAT score at my school by 120 points and 99th percentiles for each section. Yay mediocrity.</p>

<p>HS avg CR: 480
HS avg math:500 (and I know at least 4 800ers)
HS avg Wr:480</p>

<p>Your school is insane to the fullest degree. How many students are there in each grade?</p>

<p>710 m is 59% at my school</p>

<p>kobudnik - we have 130 kids per grade.</p>

<p>The average total score for class of 2010 is 2090; middle 50% high1900s-mid2200s. It’s pretty intense.</p>

<p>Wow. Your school is insane, haha, especially compared to mine. All of my scores (750W,680M,740CR) are like 99 percentile for my school, except maybe Math which might be 97 or so.</p>

<p>dang. i think my school is higher than OP’s. 800 math might be 85% percentile. 720 CR: maybe 85% guessing but yeah.</p>

<p>630ish average for all scores at my school.</p>

<p>Math 680 -> 49%
Reading 740 -> 89%
Writing 730 -> 76%</p>

<p>I guess your not alone?</p>

<p>Wow this is crazy.
Nov 2010
720 CR – 46%
600 M-- 6%
670 W – 18%</p>

<p>May 2010
690 CR – 32%
620 M – 9%
690 W-- 26%</p>

<p>I never saw this part of the score report! Ahh</p>

<p>You think that’s insane? Try Phillips Exeter.</p>

<p>800 math is like 70th percentile.</p>

<p>800 CR is 78th.</p>

<p>800 W is 83rd.</p>

<p>We have 10-20 perfect scores every year.</p>

<p>Sigh… as it goes, no matter how smart you are there is always someone to out-smart you. That’s why you can’t count on achievement alone to give you purpose in life.</p>

<p>But I do wonder if you follow the chain who’s on top anyway.</p>

<p>It’s probably not so much a chain as more of a interconnected web since no one person will be the best at everything, or even the best in a single subject as subjects have several subsets. So even for the very best people, there is still another person better than they are in a certain area in the same field.</p>

<p>How did you find out your school’s percentiles?</p>

<p>Do your schools publish the percentiles? I can’t find mine…
Although I do know that the average for each section is about 700…scary.</p>

<p>Yes I guess if you’re going to compare every stats of yours, but there’s got to be a top 1 on a certain single solid area. I wonder how would it be like to be the top, or not knowing it at all.</p>

<p>my school’s lame.</p>

<p>i’m 99th percentile for all three sections…</p>

<p>770 CR, 730 M, 790 W</p>

<p>Where so you find the percentiles? :-)</p>

<p>When you log onto your collegeboard account and go to your score report, below the number of questions you got right for each section there’s something that says like compare your score. Click on that and you’ll see your national, state, and school percentiles.</p>

<p>Critical Reading
670 = 88%</p>

<p>Math
640 = 71%</p>

<p>Writing
680 = 94%</p>

<p>meh…</p>
