In 2023, students at East Brooklyn Community High School who sat the SAT averaged 816 out of 1600 — 393 on Math and 423 on Reading and Writing. That is 156 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 155 points lower. Citywide it ranks 383 of 548. In Brooklyn it is 101 of 155.
Across 6 measured years, the school's average went from 801 in 2018 to 816 in 2023, up 15 points. The peak was 821 in 2019 and the floor 753 in 2021, a spread of 68 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 52 points.
The sharpest single move came between 2022 and 2023, when the average rose 62 points in one year. Its place in the citywide order moved from 466 of 499 in 2018 to 317 of 444 in 2023, a climb of 149 places.
The 2023 figure is the average of 20 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 4% on Reading and Writing cleared the College Board's college-readiness benchmark.
The highest average in Brooklyn that year belonged to Brooklyn International High School, at 832, 16 points ahead of East Brooklyn Community High School. The two sit close enough that a single strong cohort separates them.
