<p>The official average SAT scores are a bit higher (between 1400 and 1450), but not everyone takes them, so that’s why they’re lower in my post. The highest SAT score in my class was between 2200 and 2300, and the highest GPA was either 4.7 or 4.8 (both were NOT me, though I wish…)</p>

<p>HAHA!
My school is very noncompetitive to say the least. The top ten of my school is a joke. I will be the only one with a 2300+ SAT and I have like 320 kids in my grade.
PS: I bump students down a category if their SAT is lower, as GPA is really useless to say the least.</p>

<p>At my school, anyone with below a 90 average is very mediocre. The classes are horrendously easy and the amount of extra credit offered is insane. You really have to try to do bad here.</p>
<p><strong>My school</strong></p>
<p>My school’s average SAT is 1400 and average ACT is 19 BTW. So take this with a grain of salt — my school is <em>definitely</em> your typical everyday subpar, average public HS.</p>

<p>This thread amazes me… How can a 2200 SAT ( 99% national percentile) be average!? The only case I can think of that being the the truth is at a place like Andover/ Exeter.</p>
<p>I go to a public high school by the border with 2300 kids.
Only listing ACT ranges because the only people who take the SAT are in the top 10% it seems </p>

<p>Meh…there’s Troy HS, TJSST, Stuyvesant, Lynbrook, Monta Vista, Los Altos, Torrey Pines, Harvard-Westlake, University (I’m from Cali as you can see)…all the places with rich kids, high concentrations of Asians, or in close proximity to a high-ranked university (e.g. Lynbrook + Monta Vista + Los Altos–> Stanford & Torrey Pines –> UCSD & University –> UC Irvine)</p>
