Roxbury Latin SSAT score

Answer 1

2230 in 2007. In 2008, the median scores were as follows: Critical Reading = 750; Math = 750; Writing = 750. These statistics were published in the July 2008 edition of The Roxbury Latin Newsletter. The Newsletter does not list a median overall score, but the medians on each section suggest the overall score median rose at Roxbury Latin in 2008. According to The Newsletter, a significant number of perfect scores were recorded by the Class of 2008: 33% of the entire class scored 800 on the Critical Reading section; 14% scored 800 on math; 27% scored 800 on Writing. In fact, an astonishing 10% of all students in the class scored double 800s (1600 on Critical Reading and Math) and 8% scored triple 800s (2400 total; a perfect score on all three sections). The same issue of The Newsletter mentions that one of Roxbury Latin's seventh graders (that's right, kid presumably 12 years old) achieved nearly perfect scores on the SAT in the Johns Hopkins Talent Search. This kid was the only seventh grader in Massachusetts to score above 1500 (Critical Reading + Math; the Talent Search apparently doesn't consider scores on the Writing section). Roxbury Latin has a phenomenal number of brilliant students. No wonder so many end up at the nation's best colleges: In 2008, 41% went on to Ivy League schools and MIT; those who chose other schools went to great places like Amherst, Williams, and Swarthmore. Looking at Roxbury Latin's matriculation list, roughly 3 out 4 graduating students will enroll at colleges that are among the country's most selective.
