This looks expected and not a bad thing at all. Higher pressure to graduate and higher expectation that a college degree is necessary means more kids attempt the test - including those kids who might've dropped out in previous years. I think it's fair to assume that on average the kids who dropped out probably wouldn't've scored as highly on their standardized tests.

Unfortunately your assumptions do not reflect reality. The reality is that the number of students taking the SAT peaked in 2019

Further, the number of students enrolled in college has dropped between 2012 and 2022

I would recommend doing a bit of background research before making a conclusion based on presumptive numbers

If college wasn't such a scam I'd agree with you.
