All parents should absolutely care about generally accepted stats about schools their kids are attending. And you are not understanding statistics correctly: the mean SAT score shows you that your child's class will have the most common value of X score at graduation. It's not the deviations from the mean (you said "some kids" - that would be an equivalent of more than 2 standard deviations).

And this averages do work: almost everyone (80%) in my child's class at private school tested exact average score as shown on niche, with only a few students being lower or significantly higher. Education, certain training of your brain and plugging in the braid of certain information takes years, and I was shocked to realize how pre-determined the outcome could be (exact same scores as published obtained in class testing!)

On the opposite end, many kids of my friends who are graduating public schools don't even have a 1000 SAT score! They have no college choices beside community colleges that don't require SAT
