If this is for a recent year (after 2019), it's tricky comparing these scores b/c I think all these schools went test optional and there can be quite a difference in the fraction of students who submit scores across schools. These won't be the scores for all students enrolled, which is what one would like to have.

Also, I *think* the NCES SAT data is for [i]admitted[/i] students rather than [i]enrolled[/i] students. The scores for admitted students can be quite a bit higher than for the students who end up enrolling. [/quote]

This is for 2021 Fall enrolled admission. It is from the government site, so it should be reliable[/b].[/quote]

Thanks for pointing out that the SAT scores are for first-years enrolling in fall 2021.  I did go to the source and here are the percentage of these students that submitted SAT scores (I only looked up a few schools):

Oberlin 34%
Amherst 36%
Hamilton 32%
Wesleyan 51%
Swarthmore 39%
Connecticut 12%

Big differences in these percentages (e.g., between Wesleyan and Amherst or Connecticut and any of the others) make comparing SAT score ranges across schools tricky.
