[quote=Anonymous]Another thing to keep in mind is that when we're comparing the SAT scores, is that there are lots of factors about which kids take which tests.

For example, BCC sent in the application for SAT testing accommodations for my kid so late, and with so many errors, that he didn't get what he needed.  On the other hand, since parents can fill out the ACT form, it was turned in early and accurately.  Needless to say, my kid took the ACT and not the SAT, so he isn't reflected in those numbers.  If he had been, he'd have pulled the average down.

There are also schools out there (I am not saying this is or isn't true about Churchill, I have no experience there) that steer kids with disabilities towards community college and discourage them from taking either test, as well as schools that encourage every kid to take both tests and don't do a good job of counseling kids to pick the one that aligns with their strengths or has the accommodations they need.  Without knowing what a particular school does, and what subset of students at the school take the SAT,  you can't tell much from average scores. [/quote]
