SafefromScience. A school with high grade inflation is not necessarily a very good high school and it surprises me that the school would have average SATs in the 1400-1500 range, if you mean for the first 2 subtests of the SATs. If you are including all 3, then that is another story. Regardless of what Binghamton PR would have you believe, plenty of Binghamton students had SATs in the low 500s and 400s. That’s right, in the 400s. They apparently find ways not to count those students in the material they publish or they accept students from CC with poor academic backgrounds. These are not A students who happen not to test well either. There is some justification for discounting the scores of students with outstanding grades but who happen not to perform well on the standardized test. The students I’m talking about have grades that are consistent with their SAT scores which means that their low scores were caused by poor academic achievement not problems with test taking. If people at your high school view Binghamton to be filled with gods, they may have very low standards. I assume yours are higher.
