Did you do better than your school?

The state Department of Education released its School Performance Reports last week for the 2014-15 school year, which includes figures on enrollment, proficiency scores, PARCC scores, graduation rates and SAT scores (see chart of each school's average SAT, ranked highest to lowest, below).

These reports are designed to inform parents, educators and communities about how well a school is performing and preparing its students for college and careers, according to the DOE.

The new School Performance Reports also seek to: focus attention on metrics that are indicative of college and career readiness; benchmark a school's performance against other peer schools that are educating similar students; and improve educational outcomes for students by providing data so that progress can be measured as part of an individual school's efforts to engage in continuous improvement.

Patch compiled the SAT scores in the three sections, which are critical reading, mathematics and writing. Below is the combined average score of each school, ranked highest to lowest; perfect is 2400.
