In 2023, students at Brooklyn International High School who sat the SAT averaged 832 out of 1600 — 422 on Math and 410 on Reading and Writing. That is 140 points below the 972 averaged across the 445 New York City high schools that reported a score that year. Within Brooklyn, where the average is 971, it is 139 points lower. Citywide it ranks 343 of 548. In Brooklyn it is 86 of 155.
Across 6 measured years, the school's average went from 846 in 2017 to 832 in 2023, down 14 points. The peak was 886 in 2021 and the floor 810 in 2019, a spread of 76 points. Citywide the average moved down 44 points over the same span, so relative to the rest of New York this school is ahead by 30 points.
The sharpest single move came between 2019 and 2021, when the average rose 76 points in one year. That is the pandemic cohort, and it moved almost everywhere in the city, so it says more about the year than about the school. Its place in the citywide order moved from 404 of 453 in 2017 to 269 of 444 in 2023, a climb of 135 places.
The 2023 figure is the average of 16 students at this school who actually sat the exam — not of the whole graduating class. That number has fallen sharply since 2017, when 60 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, 3% on Math and 3% on Reading and Writing cleared the College Board's college-readiness benchmark.

“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.
