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]

I actually agree that it's not a great indicator of success in college. I am an incredible test taker -- national merit scholar finalist (which means top 1 percent in sat/psat), 99th percentile IQ, ACT, GRE,etc -- and I had TERRIBLE grades in college. I ended being sort of successful but have a very unusual path.

GPA is a much better indicator of how well someone will do in college.[/quote]

I am horrible at standardized tests and did poorly but graduated with honors.[/quote]
