The College Board has released its annual survey of average SAT scores for schools. Boston.com has a slideshow with the top 15 schools. There are a lot of schools you'd expect at the top of the list in Massachusetts, along with a few surprises.
Topping the list? The Massachusetts Academy of Math and Science, a magnet school in Worcester, Mass. It's the Worcester version of Boston Latin, which ranked number four on the annual list. The academy had a mean score of 2042, which is about a 1400 on the old SAT scoring system that you remember from high school.
Wellesley High School ranked number nine on the list. The Critical Reading mean score was 605, Math mean score was 611 and Writing mean score was 607. The total mean score was 1823 and 288 students took the tests.
