I seem to remember seeing that homeschoolers had higher scores.
Correct !!
public schools
Family income discrepancies between public-school and private-school test-takers might impact any comparison.
A public elementary school, that teaches grades k-5. Located in a good community and school district with high standardized test scores.
Public schools do not offer a stay-at-home online option. You can find ratings of various public schools in each state (by test scores) and you can find the requirements for each grade level. If you want to homeschool your kids, check out www.homeschool.com AND www.home-school.com Each state has requirements for homeschooling, and you can find all the particulars online as well.
Try the Educational Testing Service (ETS) in Princeton, New Jersey.
The Lakeland Montessori school, a charter school, had the highest scores in the county when third-grade scores were released in May. I go to that school!!!!!!
They are the same.
Usually, it takes a couple or more months for schools to receive standardized test scores. If you are in school, you can ask your teacher if the FCATE (Florida Comprehensive Assessment Test) scores have come back. If you are out of school, you can call the central office for the school district to ask if the scores are back.
Carmelo Anthony, but I would easily compare him to Kevin Durant.
Chicago schools have the lowest test scores.)~:
I DO! I get straight A's!
Colleges are interested in SAT scores because these scores test the amount of knowledge one has gained in school. These scores give an estimate of the basic knowledge of the student. It is also a yardstick that they can use for everyone. Different high schools and even different teachers within a high school are prone to make things easier or harder. Let's compare two schools. School 1 is pretty easy. 25-30% of the students get straight A's. School 2 is a bit harder. Less than 10% of students get straight A's. Does that mean that students in school 1 are smarter? Most likely not. The classes are easier and/or the grading scale is more leninent. When students from both these high schools apply to college, how does the college compare their performance? It is very difficult since it seems that the high schools have different difficulty levels. So the college needs something to put everyone on the same playing field, something that is standard. So they look at standardized test scores, such as the ACT and SAT. By doing so, they can compare students from different high schools more easily.
