State SAT scores top U.S. average
"Washington public-school students scored an average of 524 on the SAT critical-reading test, compared with the national average of 500. In math, Washington's public-school score was 530, compared with 514 nationally; and on the new writing test, it was 508 compared with 492 among public-school students nationally.
When private schools are included, Washington's average scores were 527 in reading, 532 in math and 511 in writing. That compares with national averages of 503 for reading, 518 for math and 497 for writing."
I feel this is great news for the future of the Washington State Economy. As more companies (especially in the tech industry) open up offices or move to Washington in order to recruit and draw on our young smart graduates.
