Almost... but for almost every college campus in America, the School with the lowest average GPAs and SATs for incoming freshmen is not the School of Education... it's the School of Journalism. The School of Education is usually tied with the School of Arts for second-worst. Those seeking secondary degrees are usually those who are looking to go into administration in the future.
