In 2024, students at Gotham Collaborative High School who sat the SAT averaged 811 out of 1600 — 396 on Math and 415 on Reading and Writing. That is 168 points below the 979 averaged across the 461 New York City high schools that reported a score that year. Within Bronx, where the average is 908, it is 97 points lower. Citywide it ranks 392 of 548. In Bronx it is 87 of 146.
Across 8 measured years, the school's average went from 844 in 2017 to 811 in 2024, down 33 points. The peak was 844 in 2017 and the floor 794 in 2022, a spread of 50 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 2022 and 2023, when the average rose 31 points in one year. Its place in the citywide order moved from 408 of 453 in 2017 to 338 of 461 in 2024, a climb of 70 places.
The 2024 figure is the average of 48 students at this school who actually sat the exam — not of the whole graduating class. That number has fallen sharply since 2017, when 106 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, 2% on Math and 17% 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 Bronx that year belonged to The Bronx High School of Science, at 1447, 636 points ahead of Gotham Collaborative 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.
