In 2019, students at ACORN Community High School who sat the SAT averaged 805 out of 1600 — 391 on Math and 414 on Reading and Writing. That is 198 points below the 1003 averaged across the 493 New York City high schools that reported a score that year. Within Brooklyn, where the average is 993, it is 188 points lower. Citywide it ranks 406 of 548. In Brooklyn it is 104 of 155.
Across 3 measured years, the school's average went from 860 in 2017 to 805 in 2019, down 55 points. 2019 is the lowest figure on record here. The peak was 879, back in 2018. Citywide the average moved down 13 points over the same span, so relative to the rest of New York this school is behind by 42 points.
The sharpest single move came between 2018 and 2019, when the average dropped 74 points in one year. Its place in the citywide order moved from 376 of 453 in 2017 to 441 of 493 in 2019, a slide of 65 places.
The 2019 figure is the average of 22 students at this school who actually sat the exam — not of the whole graduating class. That number has fallen sharply since 2017, when 50 students were counted, so year-to-year moves here reflect a changing group of test takers as much as anything else. Of those test takers, 0% on Math and 18% on Reading and Writing cleared the College Board's college-readiness benchmark. The two sections are far apart here: Reading and Writing clears the bar for a much larger share of students than Math does, which is usually where a prep plan starts.

“Tested” is the number of students the DOE counted in that year’s average, not the size of the class. “College ready” is the share of those students who met the College Board benchmark on that section. A dash means the DOE published no figure for that year; nothing here is estimated.
