South Carolina's public schools showed a sharp drop in 2008 average SAT scores, according to a S.C. Policy Council analysis of the 2008 College Board report. While independent high schools showed a gain of 41 points, the average SAT scores for public high schools dropped five points this year from 1456 to 1451.
South Carolina's composite SAT score of 1461 remains the lowest in the south, and is 50 points below the national average. The number of public school districts and schools that failed to exceed the national average also increased in 2008. Just eight districts had average test scores that exceeded the national average this year. That is down from 10 districts in 2007. The number of schools exceeding the national average also dropped from 42 to 40.
