"TAMPA -- Florida's high school graduates had a slightly higher average on the critical reading and math sections of the SAT, but saw a small decline in their writing scores.
The average 2009 graduate scored a 497 on critical reading and 498 in math. Those scores are each one point higher than students performed last year. In writing, they averaged a 480, one point lower than in 2008.
Compared to the nationwide averages, Florida students trail considerably in each of those categories. They are four points behind in critical reading; 17 points lower in math and 13 points behind in writing.
More than 1,000 additional students took the test this year, an important part of most college admissions."
