It has been reported that SAT reading scores for graduating seniors has reached its lowest for the past four decades, this year. There has been a marked decline in the performance of the appearing students.
In Washington alone which is United States leading producer of bright young students, people from the education industry are scratching their heads as to how such a decline in test scores has taken place specially in the Prince William and Montgomery counties.
Frieda Lacey who is the deputy superintendent for schools in Montgomery was quoted as saying “Once you hit a certain mark, you want to maintain that, don’t think the decline didn’t bother us. It really did.”
The reading score for 2011 across the nation was 497, which is three points less from the year 2010 and 33 points less then what it was back in 1972. Moreover the average math score turned out to be 514 which is one point less than last year but five points more from 1972.
The College Board has said that the drop in scores has been credited to the ever growing variety of students who appear in the test, out of which many students are not well prepared because of English language being a second language to them.
