| I believe there is a strong correlation between both our ACT and our SAT scores and our critical thinking initiative. Our ACT scores of 24.2 for 2004-05 and 2005-06 have been the highest in school history. When you accompany these results with our demographic changes we feel that these changes are significant. Our SAT Scores for 2003-04 were Critical Reading 613 (this is the highest verbal/Critical Reading in 40+ years) and 619 for math (second highest of all-time). Our SAT scores for 05-06 are Critical Reading 606 (third highest in history) and math 620 (tied for the highest all-time). When I refer to our demographic changes I am specifically referring to an increase in our percentage of "Free and Reduced" lunch numbers (from 5% a few years ago to now over 20%). When you factor this with our test results and our participant rate (over 80%) you can see why we feel strongly about our critical thinking initiative. Dr. John Crook |
