Texas high school students taking the SAT have posted the lowest scores in more than two decades, showing decreases across the board and mirroring a nationwide decline.
The College Board, which administers the college entrance tests, reports that Texas students in the Class of 2015 averaged 486 on the math section of the test — down nine points from the previous year — and 470 in reading, down six points. A perfect score in each section is 800. Writing scores averaged 454, off seven points.
The Texas scores mirror declines nationwide, although other states haven't dropped as much.

Asian students are considered minority students in California
Think Common Core might be a factor?
Its probably because all those retarded californians keep moving here and diluting our gene pool
¿Por qué?
You are on the right path. More accurate conclusions can be drawn once cross tabs are available.
I guess they didn’t dumb down the test enough
But on the good news front, America’s kids are still significantly ahead of Swaziland (in language, anyway).
The only hope I have is that the US is a larger country than it was 40 years ago, and the inequality between the smart and dumb kids is mirroring income inequality (which, if you think about it, is not all that surprising). So, in short, hopefully, the smart are getting smarter and more numerous.
More good news: self esteem is at an all time high.
Pulik sckools sloughing off? It could be the next wave of stupid people.
But they are taking more money from taxpayers than ever before, how can this be?!?
Sad thing is it is deliberate.
That was my question? In many parts of south Texas there are students that barely speak english, if at all. No wonder they can't score well.
Common Core
Dumbed-down from years of Rap music.
It would be interesting to see the distribution. Is it bi-modal?
Averages are only the start in data forensics.
I live on the Texas border and the Low English Proficiency students (LEPers) are killing us on the tests.
The tests are all in English. And there’s no consequences for failing the tests. Their attitudes are terrible and they have no plan for assimilation. It is Hell.
They hate English, but love their low class rap culture.
Texas public school scores.
CommieCore combined with entitlement mentality.
