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.
