[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Depends on the high school. Often it isn't clear how far back the scattergram data goes. [/quote]

Does your school not show the bar graphs by year? Which MCPS school?[/quote]

It shows the bar graphs by year, and those go back to 2018, but if you add all those acceptances (for highly selective schools) up, there are far fewer than what I see on the scatterplot. Conversely, there are far more rejections on the bar graph than on the scatterplot. I am wondering if they included some older acceptances and to kind of fill out the plot and pared rejections to keep it legible? It just doesn't add up. And, I know that pre '21 data isn't very helpful, but pre '17 data is really useless! [/quote]

Our MCPS Scattergrams allows you to toggle between two different graphs -- one showing ACT scores and the other for SAT scores.  So you'd have to look at both of those graphs and aggregate them to get what's in the bar graphs (and then that would only work if there was no overlap between SAT and ACT takers).  Plus,  they mentioned that this year's scattergrams would somehow include kids applying test optional, but I don't know if that happened or how it would be reflected.  The bottom line: ask your college advisory office if they can tell you how the various parts of scattergrams interact.[/quote]
