College entrance examinations are not
intended to assess students' achievement of the high school
curriculum. However, as one important predictor of how well
students will do in college, these exams provide a source
of information about Blue Valley's success in preparing its
students for college.
Research generally shows that the greater
the number of students taking a college entrance exam, the
lower the average score. Since Blue Valley has high percentages
of its students taking these exams, comparisons to state
and national data must be made cautiously.
Blue Valley ACT scores/SAT scores
College entrance examinations are designed
to predict how well students will do in their college studies.
In that sense they can also be used as one measure of how
well a high school is serving a portion of its student population--those
planning to attend college. Using these scores to compare
schools or districts is unfair because they do not include
all students. Their greatest use is for an individual building
or district which compares the scores over time. The most
current Blue Valley ACT/SAT results are presented below.
