Subject:
SAT Results for the Class of 2004
The highest systemwide average SAT score (1102) ever achieved by the Montgomery County
Public Schools was produced by the graduating class of 2004, marking the first time the average
score has exceeded 1100. The average score increased by eight points, a statistically significant
improvement compared to 2003. The average included the highest ever average mathematics
score (561) and the highest average verbal score in 12 years (541), the first increase in the
average verbal score in five years. The improvements were achieved with a student participation
rate of 80.2 percent, representing the largest group (7,263 students) ever to take the test in the
school district. This is the first graduating class of students taking the SAT who were exposed to
the full range of the ongoing high school reforms in Montgomery County. The reforms began
when the students were ninth graders in the 2000-2001 school year and have expanded greatly
the opportunities for more rigorous coursework in preparation for college.
The improvement in the SAT results included a significant gain in the system’s “average highest
score,” the same number used by colleges to identify the best performance among students on the
SAT. The system’s average highest score increased to 1115 last year, the best result ever and an
increase of eight points over the year before.
Overall, there were 10 individual records established in the SAT results for 2004:

The gains in SAT performance reflect the structural and content improvements implemented in
the system’s high schools over the last five years. These improvements have included
strengthened curriculum, improved assessments, greater coordination among and within schools,

increased staff training and professional development, increased student enrollment in expanded
Advanced Placement (AP) and honors courses, increased participation in AP exams in which
students have consistently earned high scores for college credit, greater use of the PSAT in
Grade 10 as a predictive assessment for more challenging course work, improved guidance and
counseling, more specialized preparation courses, and higher expectations for both better
teaching and learning. The improved SAT results are but one of several data points indicating the
success of this initiative. The work of high school principals, teachers, and support staff is
having an obvious positive effect on the performance of their students.
Indeed, twice as many high schools (four) produced average SAT scores above 1200 this year,
compared to two high schools in 2000; and 11 high schools produced average scores above 1100,
compared to just seven high schools five years ago. During that five-year period (2000-2004),
the school system maintained a participation rate of 80 percent on the SAT, compared to 76
percent during the previous five years. At the same time, the SAT scores have remained
consistently high, averaging at about 1095 during the most recent five years, compared to 1091
in the five years prior to 2000. All of this has occurred during a significant demographic change
in student enrollment, characterized by greater cultural and racial/ethnic diversity, greater student
impoverishment, greater limited English proficiency, and more students with disabilities.
Indeed, nearly half (49.2 percent) of last year’s graduating class were African American, Asian
American, and Hispanic students.
The eight-point gain to an average score of 1102 is the largest single-year improvement in 16
years, surpassing by 76 points this year both the Maryland and national average of 1026. While
the state and national performance has remained essentially flat, the school system has continued
to move forward. The improvement was spurred in large measure by a 33-point improvement by
Asian American students (1160) and a 10-point gain by white students (1163). The overall
average scores for African American and Hispanic students largely did not change, remaining
steady among African American (917) and declining by one point among Hispanic students
(944). However, the average scores for African American and Hispanic students receiving
federal meal assistance increased significantly—up 17 points among African American students
(854) and six points among Hispanic students (837). This is an important point because the
percentage of both groups of students participating in the Free and Reduced-price Meal System
(FARMS) is increasing, lowering the overall average score for each group even as the specific
subgroup scores increase. In the case of Hispanic students, the average scores for both FARMS
and non-FARMS students increased but the overall average declined. This effect is known
mathematically as “Simpson’s Paradox” and figures prominently in our understanding of the
effects of the changing demographics of Montgomery County and the impact of greater poverty
among students.
Overall, the average score among students receiving meal assistance increased by 16 points to
894, significantly below the average score among those who did not receive such assistance
(1119, up 11 points). The average score among students in the English for Speakers of Other
Languages (ESOL) program was 757, down 54 points from 2003, compared to an average score
of 1108 (up 11 points) among non-ESOL students. The average score of students receiving
special education services increased by 26 points to 924, compared to an average score of 1112
(up seven points) among students who do not receive special education services.

This year’s historic average score of 1102 will be the last such score for the current form of the SAT,
which is measured on a 1600-point scale. A new SAT is being introduced that will be measured on a
2400-point scale. In the past, most college-bound seniors took the SAT before March of their senior
year. Thus the impact of the new SAT on district and school SAT scores may not be evident
immediately for the Class of 2005. Students most likely to be affected by the changes to the content
and format of the SAT are those planning to graduate in 2006 and 2007. We are implementing new
strategies to enhance current interventions so that students are prepared for the revised test.
The SAT, in whatever form, will remain a substantive measure of student readiness for college,
which is a major goal of our school system. The success this past year in improving student
achievement among high school students reflects, in part, the continuing progress in enrolling
more students in rigorous and challenging coursework. Similar initiatives are under way at the
elementary level. We know, for example, that our efforts to overcome the influence of poverty
on academic achievement in elementary grades are making a sizable difference, as evident in the
recent results of the Comprehensive Tests of Basic Skills (CTBS) and the Maryland School
Assessment (MSA). Schools most heavily impacted by student poverty show improvement in
student achievement. This is known as the “greening of the red zone” because schools with
heavy student poverty are achieving the same high level of achievement as schools without such
poverty. Now, significant work needs to be undertaken at the middle school level to link the
academic reform initiatives between elementary schools and high schools and form a true prekindergarten through Grade 12 improvement program. The end result will be even better
preparation of students for success beyond high school.

Executive Summary
The SAT mean total score1 reported by the College Board for the Montgomery County Public
Schools (MCPS) Class of 2004 was the highest in MCPS history—1102, a gain of 8 points over
the previous year. The MCPS SAT mean total score was statistically significantly higher than
the national mean total score of 1026 (Figure 1). The overall improvement in SAT results also
included gains in the “average highest SAT score,” the result used by colleges to identify the best
effort among students. The average highest SAT score for the Class of 2004 was also the highest
in MCPS history—1115, a gain of 8 points over the previous year.2
The SAT mean mathematics score of 561 was the highest ever reported by the College Board for
MCPS. The SAT mean verbal score of 541 was the highest reported by the College Board for
MCPS in 12 years (since 1992). The MCPS SAT participation rate of 80.2% (7,263 students) for
the Class of 2004 represented
the largest number of students to

The SAT mean total scores reported by MCPS were
statistically significantly higher in 2004 than in 2003. Not
only did the overall score increase, but many subgroups of
students contributed to this gain. For example, the most recent
SAT mean total scores of all males and all females were 10
and 9 points higher, respectively, in 2004 than in 2003. The
most recent SAT mean total scores of students who received
special education services were 26 points higher in 2004 than
in 2003.
The College Board reports SAT mean scores from the most recent administration (1102).

The most recent SAT mean total scores of 1160 for Asian American and 1163 for White students
were 33 points and 10 points higher, respectively, in 2004 than in 2003 (Appendix B).
Examination of MCPS archival data confirmed that the SAT mean total scores achieved by
Asian American and White students in the MCPS Class of 2004 were the highest in MCPS
history.3
The most recent SAT mean total scores of students who were African American or Hispanic
were not significantly different in 2003 and 2004 when the groups were considered as a whole.
However, there were statistically significant differences in the SAT mean total scores of African
American and Hispanic students when FARMS participation was considered.

The reason why the overall and
subgroup results for African
American and Hispanic students
suggest different conclusions is
a result of a mathematical effect
known as Simpson’s Paradox.
This effect occurs when the
percentages of students in the
subgroups used to calculate an
overall average are unequal.
The SAT mean total scores for
African American and Hispanic students showed no substantive change from 2003 to 2004.
However, when the students are further subdivided into those students who receive and those
who do not receive FARMS services, one-year gains are evident. The overall mean remains the
same because (1) the percentage of the test takers who receive FARMS services has grown; and
(2) these students traditionally have SAT mean total scores that are approximately 100 points
lower than those of students who do not receive FARMS services. As the number of SAT test
takers who receive FARMS services increases, the overall mean remains unchanged despite the
increases seen for those students.
Students from many schools contributed to the notable achievement attained by the district in 2004.
A record number of the 23 high schools in MCPS attained SAT mean total scores above 1100 (11
schools) and 1200 (4 schools).

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 describes the district- and
school-level progress toward meeting the Goal 1 milestone of
increasing SAT participation and the performance for students
in the Classes of 2000 through 2004.
A Description of the 2004 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 SAT is a norm-referenced standardized test that measures
the verbal and mathematics skills that have been identified as
essential for college-level academic study (College Board,
2001). SAT subtest scores are reported in increments of 10 on
a scale that ranges from 200 to 800. Each scaled score
represents a particular level of verbal or mathematics
achievement. The primary focus of the verbal portion of the
SAT is critical reading and the use of language. Students read
and analyze fiction and nonfiction passages from natural
science, social studies, and the humanities; evaluate patterns in
sentences; and focus on relationships between words. The
primary focus of the mathematics portion of the SAT is
problem solving. Students apply 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).
How the SAT is Used
The SAT was designed to provide objective information that can be used by colleges and
universities to make informed admissions decisions (College Board, 2002). SAT scores are not
intended to be absolute predictors of student performance or persistence in college (Bridgeman,
An Examination of the SAT Results for the MCPS Class of 2004

Montgomery County Public Schools
Department of Shared Accountability
McCamley-Jenkins, & Ervin, 2000; Burton & Famist, 2001). However, 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. 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). Thus, SAT scores contribute valuable and unique information that enhances the
effectiveness of the screening processes used to select candidates for college admission.
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). The summaries presented in Appendices C and D describe the SAT results for
five cohorts of MCPS graduates who attended different high schools. 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.
The SAT is intended as a measure of individual, as opposed to group, performance (College
Board, 2002). Nonetheless, aggregate SAT data are widely published and analyzed. Aggregate
test data, including mean scores of districts, schools, and subgroups of students, may validly be
used as an indicator of educational quality only when considered in combination with other
conditions that affect the educational outcomes. The College Board strongly discourages using
SAT scores to evaluate teachers, schools, districts, or other educational units. This is because
students’ demographic characteristics, prior performance, course-taking patterns, family income,
level of parental education, and other social and psychological factors are strongly associated
with educational experiences that influence average SAT scores. This limitation should be
recognized in reviewing the aggregated and disaggregated SAT scores presented in this report
and elsewhere.
Comparability of SAT Scores for Students of Different Backgrounds
There are significant, longstanding differences in the SAT
performance of students who differ because of demographic
status, family background, level of parental education, or
economic advantage (Camara & Schmidt, 1999). Nationwide,
the SAT total scores of students who are members of
disadvantaged racial/ethnic groups, or who are affected by
poverty, disability, or limited English proficiency, are about
200 points lower than those of other students (Burton, 2003;
Nettles, Millett, & Ready, 2003). MCPS has observed similar
gaps and is making efforts to narrow them. However, the
national data presented below underscores the challenges
associated with these efforts.
Nationally, there are
differences of almost
200 points in the SAT
total scores of students

Preparing Students for the New SAT
Beginning in March 2005, the College Board will administer a new SAT test that is better
aligned with current curriculum and institutional practices in high school and college (College
Board, 2004c). Although the new SAT is not expected to be “harder” than the current version, it
will be longer and will measure content and skills that vary somewhat from those measured in
2004.
The new SAT will include changes to the existing verbal and mathematics subtests. The verbal
subtest will be renamed “critical reading.” The analogies that are part of the current verbal
subtest will be eliminated and shorter reading passages will be added. The mathematics content
will be expanded to include Algebra 2, and quantitative comparisons will be eliminated. In
addition to changes in the verbal and mathematics subtests, the new SAT will include a measure
of writing ability for the first time. The writing items will include an essay in response to a
prompt and multiple choice items that measure how well students use standard written English.
With the addition of the writing subtest, the total time allotted for SAT will be 3 hours and 35
minutes rather than the 3 hours allotted for the current SAT, an increase of 35 minutes (College
Board, 2004c).
In anticipation of changes to the SAT, MCPS designed curricular and instructional interventions
to help students meet the demands of a longer test that placed more emphasis on critical reading,
writing, and Algebra. MCPS curricular and instructional programs already provide students with
opportunities to write essays that require them to take a position on an issue and use examples to
support their position. In addition, MCPS mathematics curricula are aligned with SAT
expectations so that students learn the content and skills that are tested on the new SAT. District
and local school leaders are working together to plan and implement school-based SAT
preparation programs that are tailored to the needs of students at different high schools.

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
conducted by the College Board and MCPS.
Key Research Questions
This report focused on how the SAT performance for the Class of 2004 compared with that of
other MCPS classes. The key questions addressed in this report are—
1. What are the trends in MCPS SAT participation and performance as reported by the
College Board?
2. What are the trends in Grade 12 SAT participation and performance reported by MCPS?
3. What are the trends in Grade 12 SAT participation and performance for students of
different genders?
4. What are the trends in Grade 12 SAT participation and performance for students of
different races/ethnicities?
5. What are the trends in Grade 12 SAT participation and performance for students who
received FARMS services compared with those who did not?
6. What are the trends in Grade 12 SAT participation and performance for students who
received special education services compared to those who did not?
7. What are the trends in Grade 12 SAT participation and performance for students who
received special education or ESOL services compared with those who did not?
8. To what extent are racial/ethnic gaps in SAT performance related to FARMS
participation?
Sample Selection
Both MCPS and the College Board report the most recent SAT scores attained through the first
spring administration of the SAT (usually late March or early April). Grade 12 SAT scores from
the May or June SAT administrations are not reported. Students are counted once regardless of
how many times they took the SAT.
However, minor variations in the aggregated SAT scores that are reported by the College Board
versus MCPS occur because of differences in the rules that are applied to select the Grade 12
students who are included in each analysis. These selection criteria have no substantive impact
on group differences or on inferences that can be made validly about SAT outcomes. SAT
scores reported by MCPS typically are within two points of those reported by the College Board.
The adjustments made by MCPS provide local schools with a more accurate picture of the SAT

performance of the seniors who they taught while at the same time presenting SAT results and
trends that are consistent with those presented by the College Board. A description of the
differences in sample selection is provided below.
College Board. The College Board sample includes all students who identified themselves as
MCPS students scheduled to graduate in a given academic year. Descriptions of students’
demographic status and background are taken from student self-reports completed at the time
they took the SAT.
The College Board does not report participation rates. MCPS calculates SAT participation rates
based on College Board data by dividing the number of MCPS test takers reported by the
College Board by the number of students who were enrolled in MCPS on September 30 of that
academic year. Students who receive special education services more than 50% of the time are
not included in the September 30 enrollment count used in this formula.
MCPS. MCPS reports all SAT records provided by the College Board except for students who
(1) were not enrolled in June of the year of graduation; (2) are non-diploma-bound special
education students with certificates of completion; (3) are special education students enrolled in
community-based “Life Skills” programs; or (4) are night school students (or others) enrolled for
only one day in order to be identified with an MCPS high school for the purpose of graduation.
MCPS also excludes SAT scores received from the College Board for students whose identifying
information (e.g., identification number, name) does not appear in MCPS records.
Participation rates for the MCPS reporting sample are calculated by dividing the number of
students who have SAT scores by the number of non-excluded Grade 12 students who were
enrolled in MCPS in June of that academic year. Over the past 5 years, the SAT participation
rates reported by MCPS have been 5 to 7 percentage points lower than the participation rates
calculated by the College Board.
Descriptions of students’ demographic status (e.g., gender, race/ethnicity) and Grade 12
participation in special education, ESOL, or FARMS services are taken from MCPS records, not
the student self-reports used by the College Board. MCPS data is used to obtain more complete
and accurate information. More than 20% of students either omit demographic data or report
something different on the College Board survey than what is shown on MCPS records (College
Board, 2003; Larson & Boykin, 2003; Whittington, 2004).
Additional Information Reported by MCPS
The College Board reports only SAT mean scores from the most recent administration. In
keeping with the College Board tradition, this report will include most recent SAT scores as
well. However, in response to increased interest from the MCPS community, this report also
presents the SAT mean scores from the administration of the SAT for which a student earned his
or her highest SAT total score. For students who took the SAT one time only, the most recent
and highest SAT scores are the same.

Results
Since 1999, SAT participation and performance have climbed to the highest levels in MCPS
history (MCPS, 2003). In keeping with criteria stated in the MCPS strategic plan (MCPS, 2004),
SAT participation and performance data trends are disaggregated by gender; race/ ethnicity; and
participation in special education, ESOL, and FARMS services.
Three calculations of SAT total, verbal, and mathematics results are presented in this report. The
first is the College Board report of the most recent SAT scores for the MCPS Class of 2004. The
second and third are MCPS reports of the most recent and highest scores for the Class of 2004.
Together, these scores provide a way of measuring MCPS progress toward the milestone of
greater SAT participation and performance.
SAT Participation and Performance as Reported by the College Board
The SAT mean total score of 1102 for the Class of 2004 is higher than at any time in MCPS
history (Appendix A). The continuous improvement in SAT participation and performance has
occurred during a period in the school system that has been marked by increasing demographic,
economic, and cultural diversity (MCPS, 2003).
MCPS is now among the largest and most diverse school districts in the nation (MCPS, 2003).
Yet SAT participation and performance have improved continuously over the past 5 years, and
exceeds SAT scores attained more than 30 years ago (1973) when the participation rate was only
62%, and fewer test takers were affected by poverty or limited English proficiency. Appendix A
describes trends in districtwide SAT performance as reported by the College Board.

SAT Participation and Performance as Reported by MCPS
The gains in SAT performance illustrated in Table 2 reflect the contributions of many subgroups
of students, including those who were affected by poverty or received special education services
(Appendix B). The most recent and highest SAT mean total scores for the Class of 2004 were 9 and
8 points higher, respectively, than for the Class of 2003. The most recent and highest SAT mean
verbal and mathematics scores were as high, or higher, than at any time in the past 5 years.

SAT Participation and Performance by Gender
The SAT participation rates for females and males were not significantly different in the past two
years (Table 3). The most recent SAT mean total scores of females and males in the Class of
2004 were 9 and 10 points higher, respectively, than for the Class of 2003. The highest SAT
mean total scores for females and males were 8 points higher for the Class of 2004 than for the

The 30 point gap in the SAT total scores of females and males who attend MCPS, while
noteworthy, is 25% smaller than the national gender gap that has been observed for more than 30
years (College Board, 2003). Between 1973 and 2004 the College Board reported SAT mean
verbal and mathematics scores for males that were an average of 7 and 39 points higher,
respectively, than those of females. Five-year trends in the most recent and highest SAT mean
total, verbal, and mathematics score of females and males in MCPS are provided in Appendix B.
SAT Participation and Performance by Race/Ethnicity
The SAT participation rates for Asian American, White, Hispanic, and Native American students
were about the same in 2004 as in 2003. The participation rate of African American students,
while 4 percentage points lower than in 2003, was about the same level of participation as for the
Classes of 2000 through 2002 (Appendix B).
The most recent SAT mean total scores of Asian American and White students in the Class of
2004 were significantly higher—33 and 10 points, respectively—than for their counterparts in
the Class of 2003. The most recent SAT mean total scores of African American and Hispanic
students in the Class of 2004 were about the same as (0 and 1 point lower) those of their
counterparts in the Class of 2003.
The highest SAT total scores of Asian American and White students in the Class of 2004 were
significantly higher—31 and 10 points higher, respectively—compared with their counterparts in
the Class of 2003. The highest SAT total scores of African American students in the Class of
2004 were not significantly different (1 point lower) from those of African American students in
the Class of 2003. The highest SAT total scores of Hispanic students in the Class of 2004 were 4
points lower than for Hispanic students in the Class of 2003, a statistically significant decline.

SAT Participation and Performance by FARMS Group
SAT participation of students who received FARMS services was about 3 percentage points
higher for the Class of 2004 than for the Class of 2003 (Table 5). Despite participation by a
greater number of students affected by poverty, the most recent and highest SAT scores of
students who received FARMS services in the Class of 2004 were 16 and 14 points higher,
respectively, than for the Class of 2003. The most recent and highest total SAT scores of
students who did not receive FARMS services were 11 and 10 points higher, respectively, for the
Class of 2004 than for the Class of 2003. All of these differences were statistically significant
(Table 5).

The most recent and highest SAT mean total scores of students who received FARMS services
were more than 200 points lower than those who did not. This pattern also is observed nationally
(College Board, 2003). The results were encouraging, however, because the gap in the
performance of FARMS and non-FARMS students in the Class of 2004 was slightly smaller than
for the Class of 2003. Five-year trends in the most recent and highest SAT mean total, verbal,
and mathematics performance of students who did and did not receive FARMS services are
provided in Appendix B.
SAT Participation and Performance of Special Education Students
The SAT participation rate of special education students was about 3 percentage points lower in
2004 than in 2003. However, the difference is unreliable because of the relatively small number
of Grade 12 special education students who take the SAT in any given year. In MCPS, the
number of SAT test takers who received special education services was only 27 fewer in 2004
than in 2003. Five-year trends in the participation rates and most recent and highest SAT mean
total, verbal, and mathematics performance of students who received special education services
are provided in Appendix B.

SAT Participation and Performance of ESOL Students
The SAT participation rate of ESOL students was about 7 percentage points higher in 2004 than
in 2003. However, the difference is unreliable because of the relatively small number of Grade
12 ESOL students who take the SAT in any given year (Appendix B). In MCPS, the number of
SAT test takers who received ESOL services was only 29 more in 2004 than in 2003.
The effect of limited English proficiency continues to be a factor in student performance on the SAT.
Among graduates in the Class of 2004 who received ESOL services, the average most recent and
highest SAT total scores were 54 and 57 points lower than the scores of their counterparts in the
Class of 2003. The decrease in SAT scores was offset somewhat by the increase in the number
and percentage of ESOL students who took the SAT (Appendix B). The results suggest that
ESOL students in the Class of 2004 may have been more likely to take the SAT, even if their
English proficiency levels were low.

SAT Participation and Performance by Race/Ethnicity and FARMS Group
A closer examination of the SAT performance and participation that considered simultaneously
students’ race/ethnicity and whether they received FARMS services revealed a different trend
than that observed for race/ethnicity or FARMS alone. The greatest increases in SAT
participation were for students who received FARMS services (Table 8). SAT participation rates
for Asian American, White, and Hispanic students who received FARMS services increased
from about 8 to 10 percentage points. There were no substantive differences in SAT
participation for Asian American, White, or Hispanic students who did not receive FARMS
services. Among African American students, SAT participation rates for FARMS and nonFARMS students were more than 3 percentage points lower in 2004 than in 2003.

students improved by 33 and 31 points, respectively. Examination of disaggregated results
shows that, on average, the changes in the most recent and highest SAT mean total scores for
Asian American students who received FARMS services differed by 2 or 3 points from those of
Asian American students who did not receive FARMS services.

White Students. In 2004, the most recent and highest SAT mean total scores for all White
students improved by 10 points, a statistically significant gain. Examination of disaggregated
results shows that, on average, the changes in the most recent and highest SAT total scores for
White students who received FARMS services were 27 and 29 points lower, respectively, than
for White students who did not receive FARMS services (Table 9). Because the number of
White students who received FARMS services was very small (about 1%), the weighted mean
for these students did not contribute as heavily to the total group average as did the improvement
of the 99% of White students who did not receive FARMS services. The aggregated most recent
and highest SAT mean total scores for White students were higher in 2004 than in 2003.
However, the aggregated means concealed a substantial decrease in SAT mean total score of the
small number of White students who received FARMS services.5

This change was not statistically significant because the number of White students who received FARMS services
was so small.

African American Students. In 2004, the most recent and highest SAT total scores for all
African American students changed by 0 and -1 points. Neither of these changes is statistically
significant. Examination of disaggregated results (Figure 5) shows that the total difference in the
most recent and highest SAT total scores for African American students who received FARMS
services was 21 to 16 points, respectively, higher than for African American students who did
not receive FARMS services
(and had negative changes).
1000
SAT Mean Total Score
The most recent mean SAT total
scores decreased by 4 points for
African American students who
did not receive FARMS
services, but increased by 17
points for those who did.
Because the proportions of
students who received FARMS
services or not contributed
unequally to the aggregated
score, the overall SAT mean
total score for African American
test takers was flat.

Hispanic Students. In 2004, the most recent and highest SAT mean total scores for all Hispanic
students decreased by 1 and 4 points, respectively. Closer examination of disaggregated results
shows that, on average, the most recent SAT scores were 6 points higher for both Hispanic
students who received FARMS services and for those who did not. This paradox can be
understood by examining two things—the relative SAT performance of Hispanic students who
received FARMS services or not, and the proportions of Hispanic students who were in the
FARMS and non-FARMS groups.
1000
SAT Mean Total Score
Over the past 5 years, the SAT
mean total scores of Hispanic
students who receive FARMS
services have been nearly 150
points lower than the average SAT
total scores of Hispanic students
who do not receive FARMS. Thus
the weighted average SAT total
score for all Hispanics is sensitive
to changes in the proportions of
Hispanic SAT test takers who
receive FARMS services. In years
where the proportion of Hispanic
FARMS test takers increase

proportion of Hispanic test takers who do not receive FARMS, the mean SAT total score for all
Hispanics goes down. That is what happened in 2004 (Figure 6).
Between 2003 and 2004, the proportion of Hispanic test takers who received FARMS services
increased from 18% to 24%, and the proportion of Hispanic test takers who did not receive
FARMS services decreased from 82% to 76%.
The larger contribution of the large number of low SAT scores resulted in a decrease in the
aggregated mean for all Hispanic students even though the improvement for each subgroup was
6 points higher. The change for each subgroup of Hispanic students was statistically significant,
but the overall change was not.
Simpson’s Paradox
The disparity between the average overall and subgroup changes
in the most recent SAT mean total scores of Hispanic students
was the result of a mathematical effect known as Simpson’s
Paradox. This effect may occur whenever the percentages of
students in the subgroups used to calculate the overall average are
unequal.
In 2004, the most recent SAT mean total scores for subgroups of
Hispanic students who did and did not receive FARMS services
were 6 points higher. The overall SAT total score was 1 point
lower because the percentage of students in the lower-scoring
FARMS subgroup was higher in 2004 than in 2003.

Discussion
Districtwide SAT results are cause for celebration in MCPS. The most recent mean SAT total
score of 1103 is the highest in more than 30 years. There was a wide variance in the SAT
participation and performance for subgroups of students in the district. SAT scores of Asian
American and White students were among the highest levels in the nation (College Board,
2004b). The SAT total scores of African American and Hispanic MCPS students, while about
100 points higher than the national average for their subgroups, were more than 200 points lower
than the total scores of Asian American and White students.
The average SAT verbal score of 542 was the highest reported by the College Board for MCPS
in 15 years (since 1989). The average SAT mathematics score of 561 was highest reported by
the College Board for MCPS in more than 30 years (since 1973). The MCPS SAT participation
rate as reported by the College Board remained at the all-time high of 81% for the Class of 2004.
This SAT score increase occurred at the same time as a greater proportion of economically
disadvantaged or academically challenged seniors took the SAT. Between 2003 and 2004, SAT
participation of students who received FARMS services increased by more than 3 percentage
points and SAT participation of students who received ESOL services increased by nearly 7
percentage points Traditionally, the SAT scores of these two populations of students are lower
than average.
The most recent SAT total scores reported by MCPS were statistically significantly higher in
2004 than in 2003. Many subgroups of students contributed to the gain. The statistically
significant improvements in the most recent mean SAT total scores of subgroups were—
•
•
•
•
•
•
Males, 10 points;
Females, 9 points;
Asian American students, 32 points;
White students, 10 points;
Students who received FARMS services, 16 points; and
Students who received special education services, 26 points.
The most recent SAT total scores of students who were African American or Hispanic were not
significantly different in 2003 and 2004 when the groups were considered as a whole (0 and -1
points, respectively). However, there were significant differences in the SAT total scores of
African American and Hispanic students when FARMS participation was considered, namely—
•
•
•
African American students who received FARMS services, 17 points;
Hispanic students who received FARMS services, 6 points; and
Hispanic students who did not receive FARMS services, 6 points.
While SAT scores for the MCPS Class of 2004 were the best ever, more work needs to be done
to ensure success for every student. About one half have SAT subtest scores that are below the
threshold of 550 needed to exempt them from being required to pass a placement examination or

take remedial course work upon entry to college (Camara, 2003; Larson, 2003). Striving to
attain this level of performance will enhance the likelihood that MCPS graduates who enter
college are able to be successful there and are more likely to obtain college degrees (Boylan, et
al., 1996; Kirst, 1998; Rosenbaum, 2001; U.S. Department of Education, 2001).
The aggregated district results present a different picture than results that are disaggregated by
school. When the SAT total score for the Class of 2004 is compared with the average SAT total
score for the four prior graduating classes, school improvement varies by 84 points. To some
extent, trends in SAT scores are related to the school’s demographic composition. On average,
SAT scores are lower in schools with larger proportions of students who receive FARMS
services or have limited English proficiency.
Appendix C provides a 5-year comparison of the SAT participation and the most recent and
highest mean SAT total, verbal, and mathematics scores for students who attended 23 high
schools and special schools. This information provides an overview of all MPCS high schools
that can be a starting point for discussion about relative SAT performance and the many factors
that contribute to school differences countywide.
Appendix D provides a trend analysis of participation and performance of subgroups of students
who attended each high school. Trends are disaggregated by gender, race/ethnicity, and for
students who receive special education, ESOL, or FARMS services. District and school leaders
can use this information to identify the needs of particular groups of students at each school and
to inform the school improvement planning process.
The new SAT will be administered beginning in March 2005. In the past, most college-bound
seniors have taken an SAT before March of their senior year. Thus the impact of the new SAT on
district and school SAT scores may not be evident immediately for the Class of 2005. Students most
likely to be affected by the changes to the content and format of the SAT are the current freshmen
and sophomores in the Classes of 2006 and 2007. District and school leaders are continuing to
design and implement an action plan to help students prepare for a test that is longer, has a greater
emphasis on critical thinking and writing, and includes a broader range of mathematics content and
skills. Action plan interventions—some of which are already in place—include revision of some
instructional guides produced by the Office of Curriculum and Instruction, development of SAT
preparation courses of varying lengths that are offered for free to MCPS students, and compilation of
lists of free, on-line SAT resources for students, parents, and teachers.

Recommendations
MCPS has made great strides in achieving the strategic plan’s milestone of increasing SAT
participation and performance. However, more work needs to be done to narrow gaps in the
SAT performance of different subgroups of students. Decisions about what next steps are most
likely to be effective for meeting the MCPS goal of success for every student can be found by
considering the impact of the some of the MCPS academic reforms of the past 5 years.
The Department of Shared Accountability can assist decision-makers by providing supplemental
analyses that show relationships between SAT results and academic reforms. These may include
analysis of the relationship between SAT performance and other data points that measure student
success such as—
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
The relationship between taking Honors/AP courses and SAT performance;
The effects of Grade 10 PSAT census testing and SAT coaching on SAT performance;
Middle school and high school Algebra 1 completion and SAT performance;
SAT performance of students receiving special services; and
The relative performance of different subgroups of students on the SAT and the ACT.
