FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
September 10, 2015
The average composite SAT score for the class of 2015 in Calvert County Public Schools increased 14 points, from 1510 in 2014 to 1524 in 2015. The scores for the critical reading and math components of the SAT increased to 514 and 513, respectively. The most notable gain was an eight-point increase to 497 in the writing component.
Participation continues to increase, as well. Seventy percent of the senior class took the SAT, a 4% increase over the prior year.
Dr. Daniel Curry, Superintendent, said, “We can’t help but be pleased with our progress, but we should aim for even more students taking the test.”
Although the scores show a slight five-year dip, the one-year increase comes at a time when the composite scores in Maryland dropped to 1462 from 1468 in 2014.
