Arlington Public schools average SAT score went up 27 points over last year and they are now higher than Fairfax Public schools which gained 1 point this year, as did Loudoun county.
Usually the more well off an area is, the higher the SAT scores. Rich kids do better than poorer students for a variety of reasons. So I continue to question why the richest county in the country, Loudoun, doesn’t do as well on SAT scores as Fairfax and Arlington. The same is true for National Merit Scholars.
