SAT Scores for Mid-Shore Counties
This interactive dashboard offers a detailed look at SAT performance trends for public school students across Caroline, Dorchester, and Talbot counties in Maryland’s Mid-Shore region. Drawing on data from the Maryland State Department of Education, the dashboard displays year-over-year changes in Critical Reading/Writing and Math scores from 2017 to 2021, alongside summary statistics for the graduating class of 2021.
Users can explore county-level line charts that show how average section scores have shifted over time. A comparative table below provides the mean scores, total SAT scores, and student participation counts by county.
For instance, Talbot County had the highest average scores in both sections in 2021, with a combined mean score of 973, while Dorchester County saw lower averages, with a total score of 896 across its 218 test-takers. These differences may reflect broader trends in educational preparation, resource access, or student participation across the counties.
With its intuitive layout, this dashboard is a valuable resource for school administrators, education advocates, local leaders, and grant writers seeking to understand academic achievement and readiness for postsecondary education across the Mid-Shore.
