The Rhode Island SAT scores in reading and mathematics have improved from the previous year in Rhode Island public schools according to the College Board. RI students this year scored 484 and 483 in math and reading this year, both of those scores are up five points from the previous year. 

"These SAT results are further evidence that Rhode Island students are making good progress toward college and career readiness, but we have a long way to go to meet our proficiency goals" said Eva-Marie Mancuso, Chair of the Board of Education. 

Rhode Island test scores are still behind the National average however this is certainly an improvement and expectations are that things are only going to get better in future years.
