In 2020, students at Coney Island Preparatory Public Charter School who sat the SAT averaged 988 out of 1600 — 490 on Math and 498 on Reading and Writing. That is 13 points above the 975 averaged across the 485 New York City high schools that reported a score that year. Within Brooklyn, where the average is 972, it is 16 points higher. Citywide it ranks 90 of 548. In Brooklyn it is 17 of 155.
Across 4 measured years, the school's average went from 1066 in 2017 to 988 in 2020, down 78 points. The peak was 1066 in 2017 and the floor 977 in 2019, a spread of 89 points. Citywide the average moved down 41 points over the same span, so relative to the rest of New York this school is behind by 37 points.
The sharpest single move came between 2017 and 2018, when the average dropped 56 points in one year. Its place in the citywide order moved from 66 of 453 in 2017 to 84 of 485 in 2020, a slide of 18 places.
The 2020 figure is the average of 71 students at this school who actually sat the exam — not of the whole graduating class. Of those test takers, 35% on Math and 62% 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.
