What It Measures Minimize

This indicator measures the average SAT score for students in the class of 2004-2005 who took the test. Only students attending regularly zoned (i.e., non-magnet) public high schools in districts serving the City of Dallas are included.


Why It's Important Minimize

High scores on the SAT influence both admission to and financial aid for attending quality 4-year colleges. Scoring poorly can severely restrict a student’s range of college choices, thereby affecting his educational experiences and earnings potential.
