I cannot answer that as each state has its own method of setting criteria for graduation or skill mastery. There are many means outside of the SAT, and that opens the issue of teaching to a test. There are students who can score really well on a test, but don’t do well on other skills that are important for success in college and life.
If a parent doesn’t know how a school, district, or state evaluates their child’s progress, my initial reaction is that is on the parent. From my experience (and I know I can’t speak to everyone’s experience), a lot of parents only show up when they want to complain. Information about grades, assignments and standardized test scores is available online to them. Literally everything.
I would personally look at how my student is performing against a set of criteria rather than comparing to others.
