[quote=Anonymous]I think it probably means that they are encouraging all kids to take the SAT's, even kids who might not be considering college or who in the past would not have been taking them. (i.e. the poorer kids, the kids with more recent immigrant or ESL backgrounds.) Not just the best-prepared/most-motivated kids are taking them, so scores are bound to be lower. We moved out of the Falls Church High School boundary in part because of the school's rep, but mostly because I wanted to be closer into DC. Before we moved, I did hear some good feedback from parents of current FCHS kids - they were very happy. (FC is way at the bottom of the fairfax SAT rankings.)[/quote]
