Office of the Superintendent of Schools MONTGOMERY COUNTY PUBLIC SCHOOLS Rockville, Maryland September 1, 2005 MEMORANDUM To: Members of the Board of Education From: Jerry D. Weast, Superintendent of Schools Subject: SAT Results for the Graduating Class of 2005 I am pleased to inform you that graduating seniors of Montgomery County Public Schools (MCPS) have maintained an average SAT combined score above 1100 for two consecutive years, with students in 2005 achieving an average score of 1101. The new results nearly match the performance in 2004 when students reached 1102 and set the highest average score in the history of the school system. This past year’s achievement, coinciding with the end of the traditional two-part SAT exam, occurred as high school teachers, guidance counselors, and principals encouraged more students to prepare and participate in the pre-college exam, resulting in the largest number of seniors ever to take the SAT (7,355) in Montgomery County, an increase of 7 percent over 2004. The continued high performance in MCPS remains in stark contrast to the comparatively low performance across the nation (1028) and Maryland (1026). The Maryland results include both private and public school students, but no results are available indicating how only public school students performed statewide. Interestingly, MCPS accounts for 18 percent of the state’s combined participation rate, while having only 16 percent of the state’s public school enrollment. MCPS also accounts for 20 percent of the increase in SAT participants statewide. The increased participation in MCPS was most notable among African American and Hispanic students, and their performance would appear to contradict research expectations that suggest SAT average scores should significantly decline as participation rates increase. Instead, the average scores for African American and Hispanic students remained largely the same at 917 and 942, respectively, despite a 19-percent increase in African American students (1,382) and a 26percent increase in Hispanic students (713) taking the test. The scores for African American and Hispanic students remain far below the average scores for Asian American and White students, which increased to 1163 and 1174, respectively, the highest average scores ever for these two groups of students. Nonetheless, the steady hold on the performance level of African American and Hispanic students and the increased achievement by Asian American and White students demonstrate Members of the Board of Education 2 September 1, 2005 continued progress in the school system’s efforts to increase participation in rigorous academic opportunities as the system also continues to raise the bar for student achievement. The simultaneous effort to close the gap in student performance by race and ethnicity remains elusive, at least on this measurement, but that does not diminish the incremental progress being made in providing more challenging opportunities for more students. Indeed, last year’s participation rate reflected the largest number of African American and Hispanic students to take the SAT in MCPS history. Maintaining an average score above 1100 also reflects a number of key indicators about the ongoing transformation of the high school academic program in MCPS. The implementation of a more rigorous curriculum, including greater participation in Honors and Advanced Placement (AP) courses, as well as in International Baccalaureate (IB) and College Institute courses, has had an effect. The initiatives contributed to all 23 eligible high schools last year being named among America’s best schools by Newsweek magazine and reflect a pattern of increased academic opportunity that is fueling the planned middle school reforms. These efforts are occurring against a backdrop of the substantial challenges facing MCPS, as enrollment continues to reflect a more diverse student population and one increasingly challenged by the impact of limited English proficiency, mobility, and poverty. All 23 eligible high schools, however, achieved a participation rate of at least 60 percent, the highest ever, and 21 schools (91 percent) achieved average scores of at least 1000. Nine schools had average scores above 1100 and three schools posted average scores above 1200. This is the last report for the traditional SAT results, which reflect a combined average score for separate mathematics and verbal tests, with a total of 1600 possible points. The new SAT has been revised, adding an assessment of writing skills and raising the potential point total to 2400. This is the test currently available to our students. I will continue to keep you informed.

INTENTIONALLY Department of Shared Accountability An Examination of the SAT Results for the Class of 2005 vivi Montgomery County Public Schools Office of Information and Organizational Systems Executive Summary The SAT combined verbal and math score of 1101 reported by the College Board for the Montgomery County Public Schools (MCPS) Class of 2005 reflects the second consecutive year that the average score has topped 1100 and that participation has increased. The 2005 results are statistically significantly higher than the national SAT mean combined score of 1028 (Figure 1) and Maryland (1026). There are two additional ways of measuring average SAT student scores—MCPS-verified students and highest mean score. The most recent SAT mean combined verbal and math score for MCPS-verified students in the Class of 2005 was 1102. The highest SAT combined mean score from a single administration, a result that reflects the best effort among MCPS-verified students, was 1114. The most recent and highest SAT mean scores of 1101/1102 and 1114 were the second highest in more than 30 years, and not statistically significantly different than the records of 1102/1103 and 1115 set by the MCPS Class of 2004. Figure 1. Most recent and highest SAT mean combined verbal and math scores for the Classes of 1975 to 2005. The most recent and highest SAT combined scores for male (1121/ 1133), Asian American (1163/ 1177), and White (1174/1185) students in the MCPS Class of 2005 were the highest in MCPS history (Appendix B). 1150 MCPS Highest SAT Mean Combined Score For the Class of 2005, the SAT mean scores for MCPS students of different genders or races/ethnicities were as much as 100 points higher than the national SAT mean scores for the same groups of students (Appendix A). 1100 MCPS most recent 1050 National most recent 1000 400 950 1975 1980 1985 1990 1995 2000 2005 Figure 1. Most recent and highest SAT mean combined verbal and math scores for the Classes of 1975 to 2005. The SAT scores attained by the MCPS Class of 2005 were particularly noteworthy because the group of test takers was larger and more diverse than ever before. The MCPS Class of 2005 had the highest number (7,355) of SAT test takers in MCPS history (Appendix B). Nationally, increases in SAT participation are associated with decreases in mean SAT scores (Berliner & Biddle, 1995; College Board, 2002, 2005; Powell & Steelman, 1996; Smith, et. al, 1996; Whittington, 2004). However, this was not the case for the MCPS Class of 2005, who maintained the record level of performance set last year. Increases in the SAT participation rates of African American and Hispanic students have outpaced those of Asian American and White students. SAT participation rates of students who received Free and Reduced-price Meals System (FARMS), special education, and limited English proficiency (LEP) services also have outpaced those of the district. Compared with the Class of 2004, increases in SAT participation for the Class of 2005 were highest for African American (+6.2 percentage points) and Hispanic students (+8.4 percentage points), and for students who received services for FARMS (+5.7 percentage points), special education (+7.7 percentage points), and LEP (+12.9 percentage points).

Percentage of SAT test takers in the Classes of 2001 to 2005 with SAT combined verbal and math scores in various performance bands. A significant percentage of all students attained SAT combined verbal and math scores in the performance band 1100 or higher (Figure 2). More than 20% of test takers of all races/ethnicities in the Class of 2005 attained SAT combined verbal and math scores of 1100 or higher. Among students in the Class of 2005, 16% of test takers who received FARMS services, 23% of test takers who received special education services, and 7% of test takers who received LEP services received SAT combined verbal and math scores of 1100 or higher. Figure 2. Percentage of SAT test takers in the Classes of 2001 to 2005 with SAT combined verbal and math scores in various performance bands Students from many schools contributed to the noteworthy accomplishments attained by the district in 2005. The Class of 2005 SAT participation rate at every high school was 60% or higher. Of the 23 high schools in MCPS, 21 (91%) attained SAT mean combined verbal and math scores of 1000 or higher; 9 (39%) attained SAT mean combined verbal and math scores of 1100 or higher; and 3 (17%) attained SAT mean combined verbal and math scores of 1200 or higher (Appendix C). The Class of 2005 SAT accomplishments include increases in the following: • • SAT participation o Highest number (7,355) of SAT test takers in MCPS history o Participation rates at every high school of 60% or higher SAT mean combined verbal and math scores o Most recent (1102) and highest (1114) scores for all MCPS not significnatly different from the records set by the Class of 2004 o Most recent (1121) and highest (1133) scores for males highest in MCPS history o Most recent (1163) and highest (1177) scores for Asian American students highest in MCPS history o Most recent (1174) and highest (1185) scores for White students highest in MCPS history o Twenty-one high schools (91%) with scores of 1000 or higher o Nine high schools (39%) with scores of 1100 or higher o Three high schools (17%) with scores of 1200 or higher Department of Shared Accountability An Examination of the SAT Results for the Class of 2005 viii viii Montgomery County Public Schools Office of Information and Organizational Systems An Examination of the SAT Results for the Class of 2005 Clare Von Secker, Ph.D. Background Goal 1 of the Montgomery County Public Schools (MCPS) Strategic Plan, Our Call to Action: Pursuit of Excellence (MCPS, 2004), is to ensure success for every student. One measure of success for students who plan to attend college is students’ preparation for college-level course work. The SAT is designed to measure attainment of skills considered essential for academic success in college (College Board, 2001). Thus, student participation and performance on the SAT are important data points for measuring MCPS attainment of Goal 1. This report examines SAT participation and the performance for students in the MCPS Class of 2005. Changes to the SAT SAT participation and performance are data points that measure MCPS’ attainment of the first goal of Our Call to Action— Ensure success for every student. The Class of 2005 was the first to take both “old” and “new” versions of the SAT. Although the new SAT is not expected to be harder, it is longer and measures different content and skills (College Board, 2005). A Description of the “Old” SAT The old SAT, administered until January 2005, was a normreferenced standardized test that measured verbal and mathematics skills that had been identified as essential for college-level academic study (College Board, 2005). Each SAT subtest score was reported in increments of 10 on a scale that ranged from 200 to 800. Each scaled score represented a particular level of verbal or mathematics achievement. The primary focus of the verbal portion of the SAT was critical reading and the use of language. Students read and analyzed fiction and nonfiction passages from natural sciences, social studies, and the humanities; evaluated patterns in sentences; and focused on relationships between words (analogies). The math portion of the SAT emphasized problem solving. Students applied mathematical rules, formulas, and basic facts of arithmetic, algebra, and geometry in flexible ways to solve nonroutine problems or to make quantitative comparisons (College Board, 2001). Department of Shared Accountability An Examination of the SAT Results for the Class of 2005 1 11 Montgomery County Public Schools Office of Information and Organizational Systems A Description of the “New” SAT Beginning in March 2005, the College Board commenced administration of the “new” SAT. The new SAT, which is intended for the Class of 2006, is designed to align better with current curriculum and institutional practices in high school and college (College Board, 2004; Fiske & Hammond, 2005; Kobrin & Schmidt, 2005). As with the old SAT, subtest scores are reported in increments of 10 on scales that range from 200 to 800. The new SAT replaced the verbal subtest with the critical reading subtest that added shorter reading passages and eliminated the analogies items. The math subtest content was expanded to include Algebra 2 and eliminated quantitative comparisons. In addition to changes to the verbal and mathematics subtests, the new SAT has a writing subtest that includes an essay in response to a prompt and multiple choice items that measure how well students use standard written English. Changes to the SAT content include • replacing the verbal subtest with a critical reading subtest that places more emphasis on critical reading, • adding Algebra 2 content to the math subtest, • adding a new writing subtest with a student-written essay, and • eliminating analogies and quantitative comparisons. Interpreting SAT Participation and Performance SAT scores are intended to be combined with other relevant academic and personal information to help students, parents, and guidance counselors better understand and interpret students’ qualifications and preparation for college; and to guide decisions about course selection, postsecondary plans, college majors, and careers (College Board, 2002; Educational Testing Service, 2003). They provide a uniform measure of students’ knowledge and skills that is different from other, more subjective, indicators of student success such as high school records (Camara & Echternacht, 2000; Camara, Kimmel, Scheuneman, & Sawtell, 2003). Thus, SAT scores contribute valuable and unique information that enhances the effectiveness of the screening processes used to select candidates for college admission. The College Board strongly discourages using SAT scores to evaluate teachers, schools, school districts, or other educational units because the SAT is intended as a measure of individual, as opposed to group, performance (College Board, 2002). Aggregate test data, including mean scores of districts, schools, and subgroups of students, may validly be used as an indicator of group differences only when considered in combination with other conditions that affect the educational outcomes. Students’ demographic characteristics, prior performance, course-taking Department of Shared Accountability An Examination of the SAT Results for the Class of 2005 2 22 Montgomery County Public Schools Office of Information and Organizational Systems patterns, family income, level of parental education, and other cognitive and noncognitive factors are strongly associated with educational experiences that influence average SAT scores. The SAT scores of students with comparable school records may vary widely because of differences in teacher grading practices, school course offerings, or other factors (Brookhart, 1994; Camara & Echternacht, 2000; Camara, Kimmel, Scheuneman, & Sawtell, 2003; Hardy, 1997; Stiggins, Frisbie, & Griswold, 1989). Even among students with similar high school records, there are long-standing national differences in the SAT scores of students who differ because of demographic status, family background, level of parental education, or economic advantage (Burton, 2003; Camara & Schmidt, 1999; Nettles, Millett, & Ready, 2003). Figure 3. SAT mean combined verbal and math scores for college-bound seniors in the U.S. Classes of 2001 to 2005 by race/ethnicity (national sample). National Sample by Race/Ethnicity SAT Combined Verbal and Math Score The SAT scores reported by the College Board for the national samples of college-bound seniors in the Classes of 2001 to 2005 have held steady for the past five years (Appendix A). Nationally, the SAT mean combined verbal and math scores of Asian American and White students have been about 200 points higher than those of African American students and more than 100 points higher than those of Hispanic students (Figure 3). 1100 Asian American White National Average 1000 Hispanic 900 African American 400 800 2001 2002 2003 2004 2005 Figure 3. SAT mean combined verbal and math scores for college-bound seniors in the U.S. Classes of 2001 to 2005 by race/ethnicity (national sample). This report compares SAT participation and performance of the Class of 2005 with that of the previous four MCPS graduating classes. SAT participation and performance data are disaggregated by gender; race/ethnicity; and participation in FARMS, special education, and LEP services. Results are also disaggregated by high school. This information can be used to make finer-grained comparisons about students’ relative performance than are possible from data provided in the national and state summary reports produced by the College Board. Nationally, there are differences of almost 200 points in the mean SAT combined verbal and math scores of students who are members of different racial/ethnic groups. Department of Shared Accountability An Examination of the SAT Results for the Class of 2005 3 33 Montgomery County Public Schools Office of Information and Organizational Systems Methodology The following are key research questions addressed in this report, along with the selection criteria that were used for identifying the students who were included in the SAT analyses and guidelines for interpreting the results. Key Research Questions Three primary questions about SAT participation and performance for the MCPS Class of 2005 that were the focus of this report were as follows: 1. What was the SAT participation rate for the Class of 2005? How has SAT participation changed over time? 2. What was the mean SAT performance for the Class of 2005? How has mean SAT performance changed over time? 3. What were the ranges of SAT performance (performance bands) for the Class of 2005? How have these performance bands changed over time? Description of SAT Test Takers MCPS reports SAT records provided by the College Board for MCPS-verified diploma-bound students who were enrolled during June of their graduation year. Students’ gender, race/ethnicity, and Grade 12 participation in FARMS, special education, or LEP services were taken from MCPS records. Students are counted once, regardless of how many times they took the SAT. In this report, SAT participation includes all MCPS-verified students in the Classes of 2001 to 2005 who took an SAT. The SAT scores described in this report are based on results for 99.1% of test takers in the Class of 2005 whose most recent SAT scores were obtained on the old version of the SAT. Interpreting SAT Mean Scores and Performance Bands Unless otherwise stated, the SAT scores described in this report are students’ most recent SAT mean scores. The most recent SAT mean scores are useful for comparing MCPS results with the national and state data reported by the College Board. In response to increased interest from the MCPS community, this report also presents the highest SAT mean scores. These highest scores are obtained from the testing administration in which the student earned his or her highest SAT combined verbal and math score. The highest scores are reflective of students’ best efforts. For students who took the SAT one time only, the most recent and highest SAT scores are the same. In addition to mean scores, SAT results are reported in terms of performance bands that show the distribution of student performance. The top band contains students with SAT combined verbal and math scores of 1100 or higher. This threshold was selected as an indication of preparation Department of Shared Accountability An Examination of the SAT Results for the Class of 2005 4 44 Montgomery County Public Schools Office of Information and Organizational Systems for college level work. For example, Montgomery College exempts students with SAT verbal or math scores of 550 (combined 1100) from placement testing (Montgomery College, 2004). Exempt students can enroll immediately in college-level courses, while non-exempt students may need to enroll in remedial courses. The bottom performance band of SAT combined verbal and math scores of 800 or lower includes test takers who are likely to need academic support and remediation upon entry to college. For SAT combined verbal and math scores between 800 and 1100, performance bands are described in increments of 100 and represent increasing levels of performance.

Taking the SAT opens doors for students by increasing their awareness of college admission procedures, college programs, college majors, and career interests. The SAT scores provide data that are useful for helping students, parents, and others understand students’ preparedness for college or the workplace relative to other test takers (College Board, 2002, 2005). SAT Participation The Class of 2005 had the highest percentage (76.5) and number (7,355) of MCPS-verified SAT test takers in MCPS history (Table 1). The one-year gains in SAT participation for the Classes of 2004 to 2005 reflect increases in most student subgroups. The largest one-year increases in SAT participation were for African American (+6.2 percentage points) and Hispanic (+8.4 percentage points) students; and for students who received services for FARMS (+5.7 percentage points), special education (+7.7 percentage points), and LEP (+12.9 percentage points).

SAT participation for females (79.6%) and males (73.5%) in the Class of 2005 climbed to historic highs. The difference of 6.1 percentage points in the participation rates of males and females in the Class of 2005 was about the same as the gender difference in participation (7.0 percentage points) for the Class of 2001.

Participation rates of Asian American (88.0%) and White (84.4%) students were higher than those of African American (66.9%) and Hispanic (51.8%) students. However, these differences have narrowed since 2001 because increases in the SAT participation rates of African American (+8.8 percentage points) and Hispanic (+7.4 percentage points) students have outpaced those of Asian American (+3.6 percentage points) and White (+2.9 percentage points) students. igure 5.

Department of Shared Accountability An Examination of the SAT Results for the Class of 2005 7 77 Montgomery County Public Schools Office of Information and Organizational Systems SAT Participation by Service Group The numbers and percentages of SAT test takers in the Class of 2005 who received FARMS, special education, or LEP services in Grade 12 were higher than for any other MCPS class (Appendix B). The Class of 2005 was the first in which more than one half (54.5%) of students who received FARMS services, almost one half (46.0%) of students who received special education services, and more than one third (38.8%) of students who received LEP services took the SAT. Over the past five years, increases in the SAT participation rates of students who received FARMS, special education, and LEP services have outpaced the district average increases. The MCPS overall SAT participation rate for the Class of 2005 was 4.1 percentage points higher than for the Class of 2001. At the same time, SAT participation rates for the Class of 2005 were 7.4 percentage points higher for students who received FARMS services, 7.0 percentage points higher for students who received special education services, and 8.4 percentage points higher for students who received LEP services than were SAT participation rates for students in the Class of 2001 who received the same services (Figure 6).

More than three fourths of all seniors took the SAT. Racial/ethnic differences in SAT participation narrowed over the past five years as the increases in SAT participation of African American and Hispanic students outpaced those of Asian American and White students. Over the past five years, increases in the SAT participation of students who received FARMS, special education, and LEP services outpaced the MCPS average increase. Department of Shared Accountability An Examination of the SAT Results for the Class of 2005 8 88 Montgomery County Public Schools Office of Information and Organizational Systems SAT Mean Scores MCPS SAT performance has improved over the past five years, and exceeds SAT scores attained more than 30 years ago when the participation rate was lower and fewer test takers were affected by poverty or limited English proficiency (MCPS, 2004). MCPS is now among the largest and most diverse school districts in the nation (MCPS, 2004). Nationally, increases in SAT participation are associated with decreases in SAT mean scores (Berliner & Biddle, 1995; College Board, 2002; Powell & Steelman, 1996; Smith, et. al, 1996; Whittington, 2004). In MCPS, however, SAT performance for the Class of 2005 held steady at historic high levels even though SAT participation increased significantly. District Scores The SAT mean combined score of 1101 reported by the College Board for the MCPS Class of 2005 was statistically significantly higher than the national mean score of 1028 (Appendix A). The most recent SAT mean combined verbal and math score for MCPS-verified students in the Class of 2005 was 1102. The highest SAT mean combined score from a single administration, a result that reflects the best effort among students, was 1114. The most recent and highest SAT mean scores of MCPS-verified students in the Class of 2005 were the second highest in MCPS history, and not statistically significantly different than the record scores of 1103 and 1115 set by the MCPS Class of 2004 (Table 2).

Scores by Gender and Race/Ethnicity The MCPS Class of 2005 most recent and highest SAT mean combined verbal and math scores for students of different genders and races/ethnicities were consistent with those observed for the four prior graduating classes, with males outscoring females and Asian American and White students outscoring Hispanic and African American students (Appendix B). However, examination of SAT performance by gender and race/ethnicity simultaneously revealed gains in performance that were not otherwise evident (Table 3). Department of Shared Accountability An Examination of the SAT Results for the Class of 2005 9 99 Montgomery County Public Schools Office of Information and Organizational Systems On average, the SAT scores of male students improved by 1 point between 2004 and 2005, a difference that was not statistically significant. However, the flat average SAT performance was due to statistically significantly lower SAT scores attained by Hispanic males (-9 points) in the Class of 2005 that offset gains among Asian American males (+8 points) and White males (+10 points). Among male students, SAT scores held steady between 2004 and 2005 only for African Americans.

However, between 2004 and 2005 there were statistically significant increases in the SAT scores of Hispanic females (+6 points) and White females (+11 points). There were no statistically significant differences in the SAT scores attained by African American females (0 points) or Asian American females (-2 points) in the Class of 2005 compared with their counterparts in the Class of 2004. The disparity between the overall and subgroup changes in mean SAT scores of female students was the result of a mathematical effect known as Simpson’s Paradox. Simpson’s Paradox can be understood by examining two things—changes in SAT participation and relative SAT performance of females of different races/ethnicities. Compared with the Class of 2004, a Department of Shared Accountability An Examination of the SAT Results for the Class of 2005 10 1010 Montgomery County Public Schools Office of Information and Organizational Systems greater proportion of female SAT test takers in the Class of 2005 were African American or Hispanic students, two groups whose mean SAT combined verbal and math scores are below the district average. The greater number of low SAT scores relative to high SAT scores resulted in a statistically significant decrease in the overall mean for females, even though SAT performance of females of different races/ethnicities held steady or improved significantly. Scores by Service Group The most recent SAT mean scores for students who received FARMS, special education or LEP services are presented in Table 4. SAT scores were significantly lower for students in the Class of 2005 who received services for FARMS (-16 points) or special education (-13 points) than were the scores for students in the Class of 2004 who received those services. These results, while discouraging, are not unexpected given the sharp increases in SAT participation for students who received FARMS or special education services (Berliner & Biddle, 1995; Powell & Steelman, 1996; Whittington, 2004) Students in the Class of 2005 who received LEP services had statistically significantly higher mean SAT scores (+40 points) than students in the Class of 2004 who received LEP services. The SAT performance of students in the Class of 2005 not only recovered from the dip observed for the Class of 2004, but returned to the levels observed for the four previous graduating classes when only half as many students took the SAT.

Additional understanding of SAT performance can be gained by examining changes in the percentage of students whose combined verbal and math scores were in various SAT performance bands. Examination of SAT performance bands for the Class of 2005 revealed that more students than in any previous MCPS graduating class attained SAT scores of 1100 or Department of Shared Accountability An Examination of the SAT Results for the Class of 2005 11 1111 Montgomery County Public Schools Office of Information and Organizational Systems higher. These students are likely to be successful in college and obtain college degrees (Kirst, 1998; Marchant & Paulson, 2001, 2005; Rosenbaum, 2001; U.S. Department of Education, 2001). The MCPS Class of 2005 had the highest number (3,871) and percentage (53.1%) of students with SAT scores of 1100 or higher than at any time in MCPS history (Figure 7). This finding is noteworthy because test takers in the Class of 2005 included more than three fourths of the class, a level of participation that typically is associated with lower overall performance. Students from every demographic group attained SAT scores of 1100 or higher (Appendix B).

The Class of 2005 had the greatest number of African American (274), Asian American (826), Hispanic (157), and White (2,604) test takers with SAT scores of 1100 or higher than at any time in the past five years. Also, the Class of 2005 had the greatest percentage of African American (20%), Asian American (63%), and White (67%) test takers with SAT scores of 1100 or higher than at any time in the past five years. The percentage of Hispanic test takers in the Class of 2005 who attained SAT scores of 1100 or higher (22%) was slightly lower than the percentage for the past five years. The drop in the percentage of Hispanic test takers with SAT combined scores of 1100 or higher was a result of increases in SAT participation among Hispanic students with SAT combined scores below 800, and not the result of lower performance of all Hispanic test takers (Figure 9).

There continue to be differences in SAT scores of students by gender, race/ethnicity, and service group. However, even with increased participation, the percentages of students with SAT scores of 1100 or higher have held steady over the past five years. Department of Shared Accountability An Examination of the SAT Results for the Class of 2005 14 1414 Montgomery County Public Schools Office of Information and Organizational Systems Discussion MCPS is making progress toward achieving the Strategic Plan milestone of increasing SAT participation and performance. Although a more diverse group of students took the SAT, the SAT mean combined verbal and math score for the MCPS Class of 2005 was the second highest in MCPS history, and not statistically significantly different from the record high set for MCPS by the Class of 2004. MCPS students of each racial/ethnic group continued to be as much as 100 points higher than the national averages for those groups (Appendix A). This finding is noteworthy because in districts where participation is higher and more diverse the mean overall and subgroup SAT scores are typically close to the national averages (College Board, 2005). The SAT combined verbal and math score of 1101 reported by the College Board for the MCPS Class of 2005 was statistically significantly higher than the national SAT mean combined score of 1028. The most recent SAT mean combined verbal and math score for MCPS-verified students in the Class of 2005 was 1102. The highest SAT combined mean score from a single administration, a result that reflects the best effort among MCPS-verified students, was 1114. The most recent and highest SAT mean scores of 1101/1102 and 1114 were the second highest in more than 30 years, and not statistically significantly different than the records of 1102/1103 and 1115 set by the MCPS Class of 2004. The MCPS Class of 2005 had the highest percentage (76.5) and number (7,355) of MCPSverified SAT test takers in MCPS history. The Class of 2005 SAT participation rate at every high school was 60% or higher. Of the 23 high schools in MCPS, 21 (91%) attained mean SAT combined verbal and math scores of 1000 or higher; 9 (39%) attained mean SAT scores of 1100 or higher; and 3 (17%) attained mean SAT scores of 1200 or higher (Appendix C). The MCPS Class of 2005 had more students with combined verbal and math scores of 1100 or higher than any graduating class in MCPS history. More than 20% of students of all races/ethnicities in the Class of 2005 attained combined SAT scores of 1100 or higher. In the Class of 2005, 23% of students who received special education services attained SAT scores of 1100 or higher. SAT participation has risen to historic highs for all groups of students. Compared with the Class of 2004, increases in SAT participation for the Class of 2005 were highest for African American (+6.2 percentage points) and Hispanic (+8.4 percentage points) students, and for students who received services for FARMS (5.7 percentage points), special education (+7.7 percentage points), and LEP (+12.9 percentage points). In 2005, every MCPS high school attained SAT participation rates of 60% or higher (Appendix C). While MCPS is making progress at increasing SAT participation and performance, some challenges remain. There remains a wide variance in the SAT participation and performance associated with gender, race/ethnicity, or service group. There is also a wide variation in the SAT participation and performance of students who attend different high schools. MCPS district leaders and school staff are working together to meet these challenges and continuously improve SAT participation and performance.
