In 2024, students at Liberation Diploma Plus who sat the SAT averaged 771 out of 1600 — 384 on Math and 387 on Reading and Writing. That is 208 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 210 points lower. Citywide it ranks 479 of 548. In Brooklyn it is 131 of 155.
Across 5 measured years, the school's average went from 813 in 2019 to 771 in 2024, down 42 points. The peak was 821 in 2020 and the floor 768 in 2022, a spread of 53 points. Citywide the average moved down 24 points over the same span, so relative to the rest of New York this school is behind by 18 points.
The sharpest single move came between 2021 and 2022, when the average dropped 37 points in one year. Its place in the citywide order moved from 427 of 493 in 2019 to 405 of 461 in 2024, a climb of 22 places.
The 2024 figure is the average of 27 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 1% on Reading and Writing cleared the College Board's college-readiness benchmark.
The highest average in Brooklyn that year belonged to Brooklyn Technical High School, at 1405, 634 points ahead of Liberation Diploma Plus. 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.
