The results are in. The College Board has released state data, and while a few New River Valley schools are saying they don't have individual district information, Montgomery County Superintendent Tiffany Anderson was quick to praise the class of 2008 for their work.

Here's the news release she sent out.

In 2008, students in Montgomery County Public Schools continued to exceed the state and national mean score on the Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT). The school division has implemented various initiatives over the last few years to help students prepare for college in their high school course work. The school division began offering the PSAT to tenth grade students to ensure that all students are prepared early for the SAT. Students also have the opportunity to attend the Southwest Virginia Governor’s School, which allows them to take advanced college level courses. An increase in the number of dual enrollment classes, virtual school offerings, distance learning courses, and expanded Advanced Placement (AP) course offerings have prepared students for the SAT.

“We are so proud of our students, staff, and parents for this accomplishment,” stated Dr. Tiffany Anderson, Superintendent. Dr. Anderson shared that the district’s goal is to ensure every student is prepared to enter the career or college of their choice when they graduate from Montgomery County Public Schools.

And, with further digging, we actually have average scores for the district. Here they are:

Verbal -- 542
Math -- 538
Total -- 1080
Writing 523
