In 2024, students at Manhattan International High School who sat the SAT averaged 799 out of 1600 — 414 on Math and 385 on Reading and Writing. That is 180 points below the 979 averaged across the 461 New York City high schools that reported a score that year. Within Manhattan, where the average is 1034, it is 235 points lower. Citywide it ranks 420 of 548. In Manhattan it is 121 of 140.
Across 8 measured years, the school's average went from 847 in 2017 to 799 in 2024, down 48 points. 2024 is the lowest figure on record here. The peak was 888, back in 2018. 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 2018 and 2019, when the average dropped 58 points in one year. Its place in the citywide order moved from 402 of 453 in 2017 to 359 of 461 in 2024, a climb of 43 places.
The 2024 figure is the average of 78 students at this school who actually sat the exam — not of the whole graduating class. Of those test takers, 10% on Math and 14% on Reading and Writing cleared the College Board's college-readiness benchmark.
The highest average in Manhattan that year belonged to Stuyvesant High School, at 1497, 698 points ahead of Manhattan International 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.
