In 2024, students at Community School for Social Justice who sat the SAT averaged 802 out of 1600 — 387 on Math and 415 on Reading and Writing. That is 177 points below the 979 averaged across the 461 New York City high schools that reported a score that year. Within Bronx, where the average is 908, it is 106 points lower. Citywide it ranks 411 of 548. In Bronx it is 96 of 146.
Across 8 measured years, the school's average went from 834 in 2017 to 802 in 2024, down 32 points. The peak was 842 in 2018 and the floor 753 in 2020, a spread of 89 points. Citywide the average moved down 37 points over the same span, so the school tracked the city rather than parting from it.
The sharpest single move came between 2020 and 2021, when the average rose 62 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 417 of 453 in 2017 to 352 of 461 in 2024, a climb of 65 places.
The 2024 figure is the average of 33 students at this school who actually sat the exam — not of the whole graduating class. With fewer than forty test takers, a handful of students can move this average by ten points or more. Read it as an indication, not a measurement. Of those test takers, 0% on Math and 13% on Reading and Writing cleared the College Board's college-readiness benchmark.
The highest average in Bronx that year belonged to The Bronx High School of Science, at 1447, 645 points ahead of Community School for Social Justice. 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.
