Teaching Jobs in Arizona

From the College Boards website:
A Word About Comparing States and Schools
Media and others often rank states, districts and schools on the basis of SAT scores despite repeated warnings that such rankings are invalid. The SAT is a strong indicator of trends in the college-bound population, but it should never be used alone for such comparisons because demographics and other nonschool factors can have a strong effect on scores. If ranked, schools and states that encourage students to apply to college may be penalized because scores tend to decline with a rise in percentage of test-takers.

Having said that, Az is certainly not last in SAT scores, actually much higher then high brow states like NY, CT & CA. I hope we can agree Az does need to spend and do more for the schools and students!

true, Nevada claims to be in the middle on SAT, but if none of the marginals take it; scores will be higher.
