Four high schools demonstrated significant upward trends in mean scores and two showed significant downward trends in scores. Six schools showed significant upward trends in SAT participation and none showed consistently downward trends. |
Detailed listings by school of average SAT Total scores and SAT participation rates from 1997 through 2000 are provided in Table 5 (below). The high schools are arranged by community superintendents' quad clusters. Schools that have statistically significant patterns of change in participation rates or mean scores, either "up" or "down," are indicated in Table 5 under the "Trends" column. Trends noted in Table 5 were statistically significant at the .05 level of probability, and schools with no indicator were not statistically significant. However, two schools showed trends in mean scores that were statistically significant at the .06 level of probability: Bethesda-Chevy Chase High School trended upward; and, Kennedy High School trended downward in mean scores.
