In 2024, students at Edward A. Reynolds West Side High School who sat the SAT averaged 815 out of 1600 — 389 on Math and 426 on Reading and Writing. That is 164 points below the 979 averaged across the 461 New York City high schools that reported a score that year. Within Manhattan, where the average is 1034, it is 219 points lower. Citywide it ranks 384 of 548. In Manhattan it is 115 of 140.
Across 2 measured years, the school's average went from 795 in 2023 to 815 in 2024, up 20 points. The series barely moves — 20 points separate its best year from its worst, which is noise at this scale. Citywide the average moved up 7 points over the same span, so the school tracked the city rather than parting from it.
The sharpest single move came between 2023 and 2024, when the average rose 20 points in one year. Its place in the citywide order moved from 364 of 444 in 2023 to 333 of 461 in 2024, a climb of 31 places.
The 2024 figure is the average of 25 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 3% on Reading and Writing cleared the College Board's college-readiness benchmark.
The highest average in Manhattan that year belonged to Stuyvesant High School, at 1497, 682 points ahead of Edward A. Reynolds West Side High School. 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.
