A record number of American high school students took the Scholastic Aptitude Test last year, and the score averages reported today didn't show much change. Washington state students received, on average, the highest scores in the nation (of those states where 50% or more students took the SAT), while Oregon scored second.

Interestingly, last week we reported that Oregon and Washington were among the top states for breastfeeding rates. There have been many studies linking breastfeeding to smarts - could this be a direct correlation?
