The medians are dropping too. The reason for the 25th percentile stat is that law schools are forced to report three numbers for LSAT scores: 25th, 50th and 75th percentile. So reporting the 25th is a way of showing what happened to the whole bottom quartile of a class. They're the group most likely to fail the bar exam. Here are the stats for Brooklyn, the school mentioned in the article: http://www.lstscorereports.com/schools/brooklyn/ http://www.lstscorereports.com/schools/brooklyn/ The median score dropped 7 points in four years. The bottom score dropped 9 points in four years The top 75th score only dropped 6 points in four years. Those are massive drops for such a short time. I'm an LSAT instructor, and there is a vast difference between a 162 and a 153.
