Long Island SAT Cheating Ring - Great Neck

<p>xiggi and texaspg: I don’t know if this will help but here is our experience this year in Texas…When my S first took the SAT his HS was not listed for some of the reasons discussed. However when he got his free test as far as I could tell there is no choice, you have to list the HS. Also as far as I could tell, once it was already listed for the second take information from the first and 3rd takes were automatically forwarded to the HS even though the state didn’t contribute to the cost of these. S1 graduated before score choice was an option, and thus test scores appearing on the transcript were not a big deal, although I have not then or now found a college that accepts the scores on the transcript. Since score choice now exists I checked with my S2’s school and they weren’t altogether clear on what gets stamped on the back of the transcript but the best that they could tell is that the scores are not being transferred onto the transcript. Hopefully that is correct and if so I’m impressed with the district for keeping up with the change. So now that the HS has the scores I learned that certain combined TAKS and SAT scores could earn kids cool things like a yearbook and prom tickets. So, IMO if the school has access to the information but respects the student’s right to privacy I am fine with that. Whether its an opt in or opt out policy doesn’t matter to me as long as students and parents are informed of the policy and have a choice.</p>
