Abstract	This memorandum describes the SAT participation and performance for the Montgomery County Public Schools (MCPS) Class of 2016 compared with the graduating seniors in Maryland and the nation. Montgomery County Public Schools (MCPS) students continued to outperform their peers in the state of Maryland and the nation on the SAT according to the "2016 College-bound Seniors" report that included data through the January 2016 administration. The mean SAT combined score for the MCPS Class of 2016 was 1631, an increase of 2 points from 2015. An opposite trend was observed for the state of Maryland and the nation; graduates' scores statewide and nationwide both decreased by 6 points on the SAT. The mean SAT combined score for MCPS 2016 graduates was 175 and 147 points higher than graduates in the state (1456) and the nation (1484), respectively. In examining trend data, the mean SAT combined score of MCPS graduates decreased by 20 points from 2012 to 2016. The same trend was observed for graduates statewide and nationwide, whose scores declined by 31 and 14 points. The trend for Black or African American students in the state and nationwide differed from MCPS, with a 12 and 7 point decline for the state and the nation. Hispanic/Latino graduates in the MCPS Class of 2016 scored 100 and 109 points higher than their peers in the state and the nation. Further analysis of trend data reveal a decline of mean SAT combined scores for Hispanic/Latino graduates in MCPS, the state of Maryland, and the nation from 2012 to 2016. Overall, the SAT participation rate for MCPS graduates (64.7 percent) was 14.6 percentage points higher than that for graduates in the nation (50.1 percent), but was 12.0 percentage points lower than that for graduates in the state of Maryland (76.7 percent).
