That's according to the Sacramento Business Journal's look at average SAT scores for the 2010-11 school year. They looked at the Sacramento region's public schools and created a list of the top 25 schools with the highest average SAT scores.

Granite Bay High came in at No. 6, tied with Bella Vista High School in Fair Oaks, with an average SAT score of 1682 in 2010-11, according to the SBJ. Oakmont High School in Roseville tied with Del Oro High School in Loomis for the No. 15 spot with an average SAT score of 1619. 

A perfect SAT score would be 2,400.
