Here's How Gloucester Township Students Fared On The SATs

GLOUCESTER TOWNSHIP, NJ — Students in the Black Horse Pike Regional School District average a total score of 1,011 on the SATs, according to the most recent averages for the test released by the state.

The SAT is still considered the primary standardized test that judges a student's college qualifications. And even in the middle of a pandemic, they play an important role for incoming seniors who are already looking at colleges — even as testing has been delayed, or centers have been closed because of the coronavirus.

So Patch put together the list of each New Jersey high school's most recent average scores that the state released, and ranked them from top to bottom

Patch compiled the combined SAT scores as well as the lists of scores in the two sections identified as "math" and "reading and writing."

The SAT scores were part of the state Department of Education's School Performance Reports for the 2018-19 school year, according to the state Department of Education's School Performance Reports for the 2018-19 school year. The reports include figures on enrollment, proficiency scores, PARCC scores, graduation rates and SAT scores.

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.

Students at Highland, Timber Creek and Triton regional high schools scored an average of 505 for math and 506 for reading and writing. Perfect would be a combined 1,600, or 800 in each section.
