Area Schools' Success Obscures Lingering Racial SAT Gap
By Daniel de Vise

Monday, September 10, 2007; A01SAT scores at the Washington region's top high schools show an achievement gap between blacks and the rest of the student population -- a gap that is often masked by the overall performance of the schools.
thought about it...
Despite the gap, black students in the Class of 2007 scored well at some of the region's most prestigious high schools; at a few, black students topped the overall national average, 1511, on the best-known college entrance test. Solid scores on the SAT or the rival ACT are all but essential to students aspiring to competitive universities.
and decided I don't care. I got stereotype threat and all that but these young folk will do fine in life.
