<p>Just a question, is there a website of any sort that has the average SAT score for all high schools in the nation?</p>
<p>Anyway, our school is very mediocre in terms of SAT scores, 1027 is the average. Our school is more focused on athletics than academics, a kid that ran 1600 yards in a season will more likely make the news than a kid that scored 1600 on the SATs. (It happened before.) Out of a graduating class of 456, you need about a 3.82 to be within the top 10% of the class.</p>
<p>So either we're hard workers and bad test takers, or our GPAs are inflated</p>
<p>hmm......how smart is my school
well lets see to answer that, id have to break mys chool up
divided into three levels:
B course- all honors classes, dumbest courses u can take
A course- all honors + advanced, next dumbset course u can take (the "smart" school group"
Ingenuity- the "gifted and talented" group, very advanced math and science classes, same "course title" but the classes are much harder, much faster, and much more in involved</p>
<p>u cant really compare all these three at the same level i can only speak for A and ingenuity course, becuase ive always been in ingenuity adn only have several A course classes (non science and math courses) lets see..ingenuity is filled with either hard workers, naturally smart hard workers, or naturally naturallys mart people that makes straight As without studying. so this is the "smartest" group of the school, sats are at least 1250+ to 1600. gpa is 4.0 for everyone. people in this group are the top of the school with or witout weighted gpa. oh and did i mention that the val has always been in the past years that i know of (ingenuity has only been set up 10 years), the val has always been an ingenuity student.</p>
<p>A course...uhh semi-smart ,but to me theyre a lil slow and dumb. SATS would prob range from high 1100s (like 1170+) to bout...1400s max. gpa is at least a 3.0 to 4.0</p>
<p>B course...no comment, never had any B course classes, but id say some are almost semi-retarded (to me) or theyre just too lazy to pick up the pencil. </p>
<p>ahahah of course, this is coming from a student thats been secluded from B course since high school...so i could be wrong.</p>
<p>My class of 454
Im 8th with a 4.025 WGPA and 3.84 UWGPA
Average SAT 1010.
Sends about 2-3 kids to HYP
Sends 450 students to mediocre schools in the lower-48
I know one person who got into Harvard, 1 into Princeton, 1 person to Brown, and 2 into Dartmouth in the past 5 years.<br>
I got accepted into Princeton! WOOT WOOT!</p>
<p>And you guys thought your school sucks. Just look at our enrollment: We start out with ~1200 (yes one thousand two hundred) freshmen, and end up with 600 seniors. And that's just the enrollmnent #, not the graduation rate! So ~600 (that's half) either drop out or disappear by senior year. We are so overcrowded that we have three lunches! Yes, three lunches. The average SAT score is dismal and this is among the 23% that actually do take it, the "college-bound" if you will. The valedictorian last year scored a 1200 on the SATS and made it to Yale. In the very same town, we have a school (too bad it's private and costs lots of moneY) that draws their valedictorian among a hat of 50+ students cause I think everyone has like a 5.0. That's the American educational system for ya! </p>
<p>my h/s is a middle class public in southern california: always a few exceptions (caltech, stanford, westpoint, upenn), valedictorian does NOT choose to attend ivy (but a few lower-ranked students do), good # of UC matriculation (10 berkeley, 10 ucla, 30 ucsd, 20 uci, 25 ucr), good # of cal states and some privates. but this makes up less than half of the graduating class. the rest end up in community college, the work force, or the military. theres a clear divide of college-bound and non-collegebound kids</p>
<p>Oh, and adding to what I had before. If you guys thought that getting into Harvard is a big deal. Getting into UCI at my school is a big accomplishment. UCLA is like, whoa. And HYPSM are reach for some, but for kids at my school, I don't think they've even heard of the schools, literally.</p>
<p>lol. from my junior year to my senior year (this year) the enrollment went from 402 to 344, and like 14 of those people were girls who got pregnant and dropped out of high school...one of those was a cheerleader. lol</p>
<p>My school is outside-it's just a big hole with a truckload of desks dumped in it. A couple of years ago, someone actually got his GED. But he cheated. Our average SAT score is lower than most people's ACT score. The teachers/janitors don't speak english yet either.</p>
<p>By the way, there's this other college math program I take which has a very interesting breakdown:
800+ alumni
460 to ivies (150 to Harvard)
40-50 MIT and stanford
200 to our state school
100 (Unknown/Other College) I think they call it this to protect the program reputation from anyone knowing students go on to Duke UNC and the UCs, which are considered inferior.
So ya over 65% of my math program's alumni go on to Elites.</p>
<p>I go to prep school in the southwest, 130 kids in my class</p>
<p>about 5-10% are at the 900 SAT level with rich parents, state schools (ten people or so)
then 40% are 1000-1250, they go to state schools or Vanderbilt, lol (especially rich parents) (50 kids or so)
then the top half...
40% are 1250-1450, parents get them in fairly well respected places, usually go to ivies or similarily regarded schools (strong bias towards the southwest) (45 kids or so)
around 10-15% are 1450-1600, we have many going to MIT, CalTech, Stanford, Duke etc. (13-20 people)</p>
<p>my school is extremely competitive and built on a strong foundation of money and stress. we dont have class rankings and 10 points are added to every grade in our transcripts before they are shown to colleges, because here an "A" is extremely difficult to get, equivalent to 110% at other schools. we are notorious.</p>
