In 2024, students at High School of Telecommunication Arts and Technology who sat the SAT averaged 931 out of 1600 — 460 on Math and 471 on Reading and Writing. That is 48 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 50 points lower. Citywide it ranks 137 of 548. In Brooklyn it is 29 of 155.
Across 8 measured years, the school's average went from 1025 in 2017 to 931 in 2024, down 94 points. 2024 is the lowest figure on record here. The peak was 1032, back in 2018. Citywide the average moved down 37 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 2023 and 2024, when the average dropped 68 points in one year. Its place in the citywide order moved from 93 of 453 in 2017 to 123 of 461 in 2024, a slide of 30 places.
The 2024 figure is the average of 253 students at this school who actually sat the exam — not of the whole graduating class. Of those test takers, 22% on Math and 42% 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 Brooklyn that year belonged to Brooklyn Technical High School, at 1405, 474 points ahead of High School of Telecommunication Arts and Technology. 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.
