L-S Among Best Mass. Schools for SAT Performance

The College Board reported that only 43 percent of test takers met the “College and Career Readiness Benchmark” of a composite score of 1550, according to the Boston Globe.

• Critical Reading mean score: 588
• Math mean score: 620
• Writing mean score: 593
• Total mean score: 1801
