[quote=Anonymous] [quote]Filing a FOIA request to determine just how high your kid's SAT scores are is over the top. It also wastes taxpayer dollars to have government employees respond to the request. What if everyone did that? And so now they know he's 36th in Fairfax County for what that is worth.[/quote] And he is likely tied for 36th place with some number of other students. The article said only 35 students scored [i]above[/i] Mr. Moore's son, but does not note how many others achieved the same score. And I'm not even sure why it matters how many scored higher. Once you get over about 2200, colleges don't really care that much. They know that at that point your score can be affected by which version of the test you happened to get or a bubbling error. If you score over 2200, they know you are pretty darn smart. Being in the over 2200 pile is great, then you have to show colleges what else you bring to the table. [/quote]
