Why can’t we do better ?
- Conestoga has significantly improved their SAT scores since 2002.
- Great Valley SAT Scores have shown little, if any, improvement since 2002 and the scores are significantly lower than Radnor, Conestoga and Unionville.
- We believe that our SAT scores have not improved because the School Board does not hold the School District accountable with measurable SAT goals.
- The School Board must establish measurable academic goals for the Superintendent and the School District if we are to achieve the academic results of our neighboring Districts.
