I blame rap music and Dick Cheney. LINK

A record 1.7 million graduating seniors took the SAT test last year. With a highest possible score this year of 800 on each SAT section, according to the College Board, students scored a worst since 1999 math score of 511, worst since 1972 reading score of 495, and worst writing score since the section was added in 2005.

Well since the test is standardized on a representative population, this likely means that lower performing students are taking it. Considering that the goal is for students who were not considered college material in the past to attend college nowadays, this should not be surprising.
