In 2024, students at Brooklyn Community High School for Excellence and Equity who sat the SAT averaged 819 out of 1600 — 424 on Math and 395 on Reading and Writing. That is 160 points below the 979 averaged across the 461 New York City high schools that reported a score that year. Within Brooklyn, where the average is 981, it is 162 points lower. Citywide it ranks 375 of 548. In Brooklyn it is 96 of 155.
Across 8 measured years, the school's average went from 808 in 2017 to 819 in 2024, up 11 points. The peak was 894 in 2018 and the floor 808 in 2017, a spread of 86 points. Citywide the average moved down 37 points over the same span, so relative to the rest of New York this school is ahead by 48 points.
The sharpest single move came between 2017 and 2018, when the average rose 86 points in one year. Its place in the citywide order moved from 434 of 453 in 2017 to 325 of 461 in 2024, a climb of 109 places.
The 2024 figure is the average of 48 students at this school who actually sat the exam — not of the whole graduating class. That number has grown sharply since 2017, when 31 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, 6% on Math and 16% on Reading and Writing cleared the College Board's college-readiness benchmark.
The highest average in Brooklyn that year belonged to Brooklyn Technical High School, at 1405, 586 points ahead of Brooklyn Community High School for Excellence and Equity. A gap that size is a different admissions pool, not a different amount of preparation.

“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.
