In 2024, students at Murray Hill Academy who sat the SAT averaged 984 out of 1600 — 494 on Math and 490 on Reading and Writing. That is 5 points above 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 50 points lower. Citywide it ranks 93 of 548. In Manhattan it is 43 of 140.
Across 8 measured years, the school's average went from 915 in 2017 to 984 in 2024, up 69 points. 2024 is the high point of the whole record; the low was 865 in 2019. Citywide the average moved down 37 points over the same span, so relative to the rest of New York this school is ahead by 106 points.
The sharpest single move came between 2022 and 2023, when the average rose 52 points in one year. Its place in the citywide order moved from 237 of 453 in 2017 to 85 of 461 in 2024, a climb of 152 places.
The 2024 figure is the average of 47 students at this school who actually sat the exam — not of the whole graduating class. Of those test takers, 33% on Math and 46% 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, 513 points ahead of Murray Hill Academy. 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.
