In 2022, students at Innovation Diploma Plus who sat the SAT averaged 759 out of 1600 — 368 on Math and 391 on Reading and Writing. That is 210 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 259 points lower. Citywide it ranks 507 of 548. In Manhattan it is 134 of 140.
Across 5 measured years, the school's average went from 823 in 2018 to 759 in 2022, down 64 points. 2022 is the lowest figure on record here. The peak was 872, back in 2019. Citywide the average moved down 40 points over the same span, so relative to the rest of New York this school is behind by 24 points.
The sharpest single move came between 2021 and 2022, when the average dropped 66 points in one year. Its place in the citywide order has hardly changed: 440 of 499 in 2018, 444 of 469 in 2022.
The 2022 figure is the average of 26 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 5% 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, 70 points ahead of Innovation Diploma Plus. 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.
