Top 50 Public High Schools in Arizona Ranked by 2015 SAT Scores

What’s a Good SAT Score?
Prior to January 2016, the highest possible SAT score was 2400. As of March 2016, with the new redesign of the test, the highest possible score is 1600.

According to PrepScholar, an online SAT/ACT prep programs. For the New SAT (out of 1600), 1000 is considered an average score. For the Old SAT (out of 2400), 1500 is the national average score.
The top 25% of SAT takers score about 1200 or more (or 1800 on the Old SAT); if your New SAT score is above 1200, then that’s quite good.
