How well do the students in your state perform on the SAT?

The College Board released new annual data on the high school class of 2015’s SAT scores Thursday. See the map below for information on your state’s average composite score.

Note that the portion of test takers in a given state has an effect on average scores. As a result, the average scores in a given state are not directly comparable to every other state. Typically, when fewer members of a graduating class take the SAT, the average score tends to be higher. In all four of the lowest-scoring states, 91 to 100 percent of the graduating classes took the SAT. In the 12 highest-scoring states, 10 percent of the graduating class or less took the SAT.
