Scope and Content:

This report entitled “The Truth About New Hampshire’s SAT scores” examines the SAT scores of students from 1994. The findings add a layer complexity to existing research regarding NH students’ performance on the test and clarify common misconceptions with regard to NH students’ test performance. Findings include the role of private school students in the calculation of scores, the relationships between family income and parental education level and SAT performance, and that the claims of high SAT scores in New Hampshire are based on a comparison of only 23 other states rather all 49.
