I will say it again: SAT SCORES CORRELATE TO FAMILY SES. Banneker is a Title 1 school.

Correct! Families that can pay for tutoring will always have an advantage in regard to standardized testing. A lot of schools are considering making the testing optional. The results don't indicate how well a student will do college. [/quote]

Nope.

• The   SAT  is   strongly   predictive   of   college   success;   students   with   higher   SAT  scores   are   more likely   to   have   higher   grades   in   college.

• Using   the   SAT  in   conjunction   with   high  school   GPA is   the   most   powerful  way   to predict   future  academic  performance.

• The   SAT  is   useful   beyond   admissions;   data   show   that   SAT  scores   are   important   predictors of   student   retention  to  the  second  year.
