Anyone want to correlate School Budget to SAT scores and see how poorly we are really doing?
You can perform any math calculation that you like. It does not tell you much.
Not all students are capable of scoring above 1200. I don’t know how that will factor into your math. Maybe a student that scored 1100 had a great test that day. These averages do not tell you anything about the students achievement and how much the high school helped.
You are complaining about being #11????? We have a large percentage of students in our schools with special needs – something that we are proud of. Move to Millburn. I’m sure we won’t miss you.
I’m satisfied with spending over $100 million/year and being out of the top 10 schools in NJ (let alone the country) and barely breaking 1250 out of 1600 on the SAT
.
But then again, I’m rich and don’t have high academic aspirations for my kids.
.
How about you?

You are complaining about being #11?????
We’re #24th – not #11 (no matter how many ways you edit the data).
Read the article.

BTW, being 24th is nothing to brag about, given the money we spend (waste?) on education and the RHS “Tradition of excellence”.

3:34 have a talk with the majority of the town that puts sports before studies. My kids fall in the 99% for ACT/SAT. We have always put academics first. Pays off in the end. I don’t feel my money is being wasted at all. My kids are pretty set.
