STANFORD ACHIEVEMENT TEST

Scores on the Stanford Achievement Test (SAT) for students in grades 1-6 have been exceptional and stable through the years. A score of 50 indicates the national average and scores above 70 are considered indicative of high achievement. Over the previous four years, the MH composite for all students has been an 84; the score for the 2010-2011 school year continues the increase and now stands at an 85. Even more significant, the SAT report that charts the number of students scoring at or above expectations is consistently 93% or higher of the total school population.
