- Students from 63 M-DCPS schools participated in the SAT, with mean scores in nearly a quarter of the locations exceeding statewide means in Reading and Mathematics.
- In comparison to the nation, students’ mean scores in 13 M-DCPS senior high schools were higher than the national average in Reading, 11 schools’ means were higher in Writing, and 10 were higher in Mathematics.
