Scores increased in reading and math
for nearly 17,000 Idaho high school juniors who took part in the 2014 SAT
School Day last April.
“These results are more evidence that
student achievement in Idaho continues to increase and that Idaho’s high school
students are moving in the right direction as they prepare to ‘go on’ to
postsecondary education.” said Superintendent of Public Instruction Tom Luna.
“I’m convinced this trend will continue and excited to see even more students
strive as they ‘go on’ into college and their careers.”
On average, compared to previous test
results, students scored about two percent better in critical reading and math,
but scored two percent less in writing. While the mean score in writing did
drop slightly, students made between a five and six percent increase in the
skill categories dealing with grammatical relationships and structures.
The average critical reading score in
2014 was 464, compared to 454 in 2013. In mathematics, the scores increased
from 453 to 461. Overall in 2014 the number of students who scored a 700 or
better in critical reading increased 33.2 percent.
The biggest score increase from 2013
to 2014 was with critical reading questions dealing with reasoning and
inference. These questions challenge students to understand assumptions,
suggestions and implications in reading and to draw informed conclusions.
Overall, students correctly answered 17.7 percent more questions in that
category.
In 2007, the Idaho State Board of
Education and Idaho Legislature approved high school graduation requirements
starting with the class of 2013 requiring students to complete a college
entrance exam such as the SAT. The State of Idaho makes this possible by
funding SAT School Day in which all high school juniors can take the SAT or
ACCUPLACER exam, paid for by the state.

Editor’s Note: Please
take caution in reading and reporting the data on Idaho SAT School Day versus
national results that are released for the ACT and SAT. The Idaho SAT School
Day data only measures the results
of Idaho high school juniors taking the SAT paid for by the state. The national
results for the ACT and SAT measure the results of a cohort of students
(sophomores, juniors and seniors) who graduate in a given year and selected to
take the SAT or ACT during their high school years.
