ECISD Test Scores Show Decline From 1970s Peak
ECISD district data show math and verbal SAT scores lagging national and state averages from the mid 1970s onward. By 1980 math fell to 472 district versus 466 national and 455 state, verbal 431 district versus 424 national and 416 state. Seniors in 1984 scored below state verbal average for the first time. District official Wayne Milligan cites reforms in HB 246 and HB 72 as the plan to reverse this trend in four to five years.
