Do Schools See or Consider Section Scores?

My DD is trying to decide if she should retake the SAT. This is what she’s scored thus far:

March 2017:

1490 Total
780 Math
710 EBRW (Reading was 34 and Writing and Language was 37)

April 2017:

1490 Total,
770 Math
720 EBRW (Reading was 37 and Writing and Language was 35)

First, chalk one up for consistency! She wasn’t expecting the exact same composite score both times!

We understand that her Superscore would be a 1500 (780 Math + 720 EBRW). However, we did have one question: Do schools also see your section scores, particularly within the EBRW? If so, do they consider them at all?

For example, will they see that she got a 37 on Writing and Language the first time around and a 37 on the Reading at her second sitting?

Just wanted to understand what data the schools received. Thanks!
