<p>For students in the same school what you have to do is classify your students by sat range, say 25 point ranges, and calculate the mean sat scores and graduation percent within each range. Say this yields 25 ranges and 25 pairs of scores (graduation percent for students within that range and average SAT score for students within that range). Then calculate the correlation.</p>
<p>Collegehelp, most schools aren’t too free with that information. :)</p>
<p>“I don’t know offhand the correlation between family income and SAT but it is probably fairly high. Smart kids probably have smart parents. Smart parents generally make more money. High SATs cause high family income.”</p>
<p>A lot of people think that. I haven’t seen anything that says the above is true.</p>

<p>ATLANTA (AP) Who gets to be a millionaire? Conventional wisdom says it’s the students who get straight A’s, blow the roof off the SAT and go to Ivy League colleges. Or maybe it’s the children born into wealthy families with brilliant connections. </p>
<p>Neither is typical, says Thomas J. Stanley, who surveyed 1,300 millionaires for his new book, “The Millionaire Mind,” due out Monday. </p>
<p>The average millionaire made B’s and C’s in college, Stanley says. Their average SAT score was 1190 - not good enough to get into many top-notch schools. In fact, most millionaires were told they were not intellectually gifted, not smart enough to succeed. “I find no correlation between SAT scores, grade point averages and economic achievement. None,” said Stanley. “Admittedly, there are some very bright people in the data, but not many.”</p>
<p>Many people on this thread don’t think an average SAT score of a student body of 1190 is high enough for them or their kids. :)</p>
