In 2024, students at Energy Tech High School who sat the SAT averaged 985 out of 1600 — 494 on Math and 491 on Reading and Writing. That is 6 points above the 979 averaged across the 461 New York City high schools that reported a score that year. Within Queens, where the average is 966, it is 19 points higher. Citywide it ranks 92 of 548. In Queens it is 21 of 92.
Across 8 measured years, the school's average went from 1011 in 2017 to 985 in 2024, down 26 points. The peak was 1067 in 2021 and the floor 951 in 2023, a spread of 116 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 104 points in one year. Its place in the citywide order moved from 104 of 453 in 2017 to 84 of 461 in 2024, a climb of 20 places.
The 2024 figure is the average of 91 students at this school who actually sat the exam — not of the whole graduating class. Of those test takers, 33% on Math and 52% 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.
The highest average in Queens that year belonged to Queens High School for the Sciences at York College, at 1463, 478 points ahead of Energy Tech 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.
