Wayne High-Schoolers' SAT Scores Among Highest In NJ

WAYNE, NJ — Students at Wayne Valley and Wayne Hills high schools score higher on the SAT than almost anyone else in the state, according to statistics released recently by the state Department of Education.

Patch compiled SAT scores in two sections that the state Department of Education identified as "math" and "reading and writing."

Hills students, on average, scored 1161 on the 2017 SAT, good for 86th highest in the state. Valley students earned an average score of 1156, good for 99th best out of 387 schools.

The SAT scores were part of the state Department of Education's School Performance Reports for the 2016-17 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.
