In 2024, students at East Williamsburg Scholars Academy who sat the SAT averaged 798 out of 1600 — 391 on Math and 407 on Reading and Writing. That is 181 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 183 points lower. Citywide it ranks 423 of 548. In Brooklyn it is 109 of 155.
Across 8 measured years, the school's average went from 838 in 2017 to 798 in 2024, down 40 points. The peak was 862 in 2021 and the floor 785 in 2023, a spread of 77 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 2021 and 2022, when the average dropped 59 points in one year. Its place in the citywide order moved from 413 of 453 in 2017 to 362 of 461 in 2024, a climb of 51 places.
The 2024 figure is the average of 74 students at this school who actually sat the exam — not of the whole graduating class. Of those test takers, 2% on Math and 12% 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, 607 points ahead of East Williamsburg Scholars Academy. A gap that size is a different admissions pool, not a different amount of preparation.
