No, I am not past Page 21 yet.

A few facts about my school.

We are (roughly) the 10th largest school in the state (I think the latest published figure is 1,978 kids).

The Globe ran all the SAT numbers today.

We had 330 kids take it (I do not know how many were eligible.)

holy crap. I know they've changed the test since I took it (the writing section is new, for one thing), but the scores still .are. out of 800 for each section, yes?
I just...I don't understand how people can .get. such low scores. Are these kids actually idiots? Or are they just bad test takers? Or do they not care about their scores at all?
In my county, in 2003 (which was the latest data I could easily find), the math average was 564 and the verbal average was 546, while my high school's average (TJHSST, which they apparently alphebetized under J) was 748 and 730.
