OK, a few left behind.

SAT Records Biggest Score Dip in 31 Years:
Average scores for public and private school students in Maryland, Virginia and the District also declined. Maryland had the largest drop, eight points in reading and six in math. As a possible factor, state officials cited a large jump in test participation among Baltimore students who had not completed a rigorous high school curriculum. Officials noted that SAT scores are nearly always higher in more affluent areas, and that participation rates can affect scores.
But maybe it's just a rigor problem. Nothing to worry about there.
