Another example of Blue state superiority

OLYMPIA, Wash. (AP) - For the eighth consecutive year, Washington
state students had the highest average SAT scores in the nation among
states where more than half the eligible students took the tests.
The College Board says more than 37,000 Washington students took the
SAT test last school year, including nearly 29,000 public school
students.
Washington students scored higher in critical reading, math and
writing than all other states in which at least 25 percent of students
tested.
The percentage of students tested is significant because generally the
more students who test, the lower their scores.
Washingtons SAT participation rate of 54 percent is the highest among
Western states and beats the national average of 47 percent.
And we're 47th in cost/student in public schools, which is nothing to
be proud about. With proper funding we'd kick all your asses by an
even larger margin.
My kids go to one of the top 60 high schools in the nation. It is a
public high school.
All the top schools bring in a few intellectually challenged kids.
