Like every other educational business in the U.S. today, they most likely made the SAT test(s) easier to ensure sufficient numbers of graduating high school seniors are funneled into the diploma mills of higher education. Colleges and universities need under-qualified people, who pile up student loan debt for worthless degrees, to pay their tenured professors and sports team coaches.
I understand the need for local education officials to “toot their horn” whenever they can. However, these results need to be seen for what they actually are. The SAT is only taken by kids who intend to continue their education beyond high school. We can therefore reasonably interpret this result as showing that local kids who want an education (38%) are marginally about average. The rest (62%) are so far down the achievement list that they are hard to spot. Standardized testing has been and can continue to be an important way to evaluate the educational process, however so many educrats now game the system that it has become increasingly difficult to interpret the results. The abject failure of our Boards of Education to break with a grossly outdated educational paradigm continues to condemn thousands of children to a life of poverty and misery.
Liars figure and figures lie. The low rates of participation skewd the numbers.
The only thing the local BOE has done a good job of is raising people’s taxes to pay for their systemic failures..
