SAT 2016: All Clayton County schools below state average

Clayton County Schools students continue to struggle on the SAT test. No school scored at or above the state average in test results released this morning.

The district’s top-scoring schools were Martha Ellen Stillwell School of the Arts (1452), Forest Park High School (1304) and Morrow High School (1295). The average state test score was 1459.

The scores are from the old version of the test, with reading, writing and math sections scored up to 2400.

The SAT was revamped earlier this year, reverting to a 1600 top score and offering fewer options to choose from on the multiple-choice questions.

The College Board, which partners with states to administer the test, did not report results from the new version, citing the smaller number of students took the redesigned test.
