IMO C
red highlited part is a modifier and should modify subject VISTA DEL SUR.
basing this D and E is wrong.
A. Vista Del Sur reported that mean SAT score of its students on subject based tests is 630, and that they scored 30% higher than the mean score of students
WRONG
Because of the use of AND THAT....It appears that there are two actions done..
1)means SAT score iS 630
2)SCORED 30percent higher.
these two are not separate actions....actually 2nd is the description of the score the students scored.
hence connecting them with AND is not correct.
B. Vista Del Sur reporting that mean SAT score of its students on subject based tests is 630, said that they scored 30% higher compared to that of students
WRONG
here putting comma before SAID...makes the sentence fragment...now the subject VISTA DEL SUR has no verb
C. Vista Del Sur reported that mean SAT score of its students on subject based tests is 630, a score that is 30% higher than the mean score of students

A perfect example of a Trap. Use of "AND" means that the reporting authority reported 2 things, which are different. Thus Incorrect
B. Vista Del Sur reporting that mean SAT score of its students on subject based tests is 630, said that they scored 30% higher compared to that of students
If we remove the modifier, we see that the sentence becomes
Comparing stats of its students with that of students of other schools, Vista Del Sur said that they scored 30% higher compared to that of students
This option is comparing a clause with a noun "Score". Such use is incorrect.
C. Vista Del Sur reported that mean SAT score of its students on subject based tests is 630, a score that is 30% higher than the mean score of students
CORRECT
D. mean SAT score of Vista Del Sur students, as reported by it, on subject based tests is 630, a score 30% higher than the students’ mean score
- The sentence begins with "Comparing stats". Whom so ever is comparing the stat MUST come after comma, but in this option what follows a comma is "Mean SAT score" rather than the "Doer of the action". Thus Incorrect.
E. subject based tests have the mean SAT score of 630 scored by the Vista Del Sur students, a score 30% higher than the students
- The sentence begins with "Comparing stats". Whom so ever is comparing the stat MUST come after comma, but in this option what follows a comma is "Subjects" rather than the "Doer of the action". Thus Incorrect.
