The SAT is a commonly-known measure of college readiness provided by The College Board. The most recent SAT scores have been released. As a district, the results were extremely positive.
Chapel Hill-Carrboro City Schools (CHCCS) scores are up 18 points on the Critical Reading/Math composite to 1201, our highest value to date. The state average score was 1003 and the national average score was 1006.
The district scores are up 23 points on the Critical Reading/Math/Writing composite to 1776, matching a previous high. North Carolina's average score was down five points to 1478. The nation averaged 1490.
The number of seniors taking the SAT in 2015 (58,022) increased slightly from 2014 (57,997). A total of 59 percent of seniors took the exam statewide compared to 64 percent in 2014 and 67 percent in 2011. North Carolina has been considered an SAT state for many years with a majority of college-bound students electing to take this admissions test. However, in 2012, all high school juniors took the ACT for the first time as part of the state's new READY accountability model. This means that students can use their ACT results for college admission and not have to pay to take a college entrance exam.
Over 80 percent of CHCCS seniors took the exam.
