SAT Score vs Region
Is SAT Score affected by the region of Illinois that they are from?
Our group found that regions 7 and 8, which correspond to the outer suburbs of Chicago and the immediate Chicago area respectively, have the highest median SAT score out of all the eight Illinois regions analyzed. This could be due to the fact that the Greater Chicago region is one of the most developed in the entire country, giving schools in the area easier access to educational and financial resources. That suggests that a school’s location is likely not as strong a predictor of SAT score as factors like school funding are.
