SAT / ACT participation
CRDC federal data · 2020-21Bottom 1% by test-taker volume

A higher count means more students at this school are entering the college admissions pipeline. Note: 2020-21 was COVID-disrupted; some districts (especially those that stayed remote longer) report unusually low or zero takers.
