The Disappearing Middle

Percentage point change in the share of admitted freshmen with the specified Honors range.

The graph compares the four years before and the four years after the SAT was dropped. The calculation is the percentage of admits from a group in 2021-2024 minus the percentage of admits from the same group in 2017-2020. Honors classes are yearlong classes taken in 10th-12th grade and include AP, IB, and UC-certified honors classes. Data excludes students from other states and countries.
