Lake Washington School District SAT scores well above state and national averages

New test makes comparisons with past years difficult

​Redmond, Wash. – Lake Washington School District (LWSD) students continue to score higher on standardized tests than state and national averages. They scored on average 76 points higher on the SAT reading, writing and math test than the state and national averages in tests during the last school year.

However, because a new SAT was given starting in January 2016, the averages cannot easily be compared to previous years.

 “I am proud of Lake Washington students,” noted Dr. Traci Pierce, superintendent. “Our students score well above state and national averages. These results show that our students and teachers are working hard every day.”

A total of 1,103 students took the SAT this year. This number is down from a district high of 1,135 last year.
