SAT scores
questioned
DUNCANVILLE, Texas (AP) —
When Duncanville High School re
leased its average composite score
for its seniors on the SAT college en
trance exam, the results weren’t too
shabby.
The reported score of 1,124
was the second-highest in the
Dallas-Fort Worth area for 1996-
97, behind only the Highland
Park’s 1,153 and ahead of Plano’s
1,113.
The Dallas Morning News re
ported Wednesday that the
school’s average SAT score actual
ly was 991, near the bottom among
29 Dallas-area school districts —
ahead of only Fort Worth, Lancast
er and Wilmer-Hutchins.
The higher score was achieved
by statistics sleight of hand, the
newspaper reported.
The Duncanville school district
reported the average score
achieved by the top 43 percent of
its students, while the other dis
tricts’ scores reflected all students
taking the test. Of Duncanville’s
648 seniors, 63 percent took the
SAT.
Duncanville schools officials
say they weren’t trying to mislead
anyone about the district’s perfor
mance.
The scores of the top 43 percent
were used because that matches
the percentage of seniors national
ly who take the SAT, said Karla Oliv
er, a spokeswoman for the district.
Comparing Duncanville’s top
43 percent with the national aver
age gives administrators a better
estimate of how seniors are doing
in relation to college-bound stu
dents elsewhere, Ms. Oliver said.
“That’s where the whole idea of
comparative percentages came
from,” she said.
A spokesman for the College
Board, the independent organi
zation that oversees administra
tion of the SAT and releases
scores, said Duncanville’s
method of calculating the aver
age is unusual.
