In 2022, students at Edward A. Reynolds West Side High School who sat the SAT averaged 762 out of 1600 — 384 on Math and 378 on Reading and Writing. That is 207 points below the 969 averaged across the 469 New York City high schools that reported a score that year. Within Manhattan, where the average is 1018, it is 256 points lower. Citywide it ranks 497 of 548. In Manhattan it is 130 of 140.
Across 5 measured years, the school's average went from 859 in 2018 to 762 in 2022, down 97 points. The peak was 859 in 2018 and the floor 758 in 2021, a spread of 101 points. Citywide the average moved down 40 points over the same span, so relative to the rest of New York this school is behind by 57 points.
The sharpest single move came between 2020 and 2021, when the average dropped 56 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 375 of 499 in 2018 to 439 of 469 in 2022, a slide of 64 places.
The 2022 figure is the average of 18 students at this school who actually sat the exam — not of the whole graduating class. That number has fallen sharply since 2018, when 32 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, 1% on Math and 2% on Reading and Writing cleared the College Board's college-readiness benchmark.
The highest average in Manhattan that year belonged to The Maxine Greene HS for Imaginative Inquiry, at 829, 67 points ahead of Edward A. Reynolds West Side High School. The two sit close enough that a single strong cohort separates them.

“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.
