In 2022, students at New Dawn Charter High School who sat the SAT averaged 713 out of 1600 — 357 on Math and 356 on Reading and Writing. That is 256 points below the 969 averaged across the 469 New York City high schools that reported a score that year. Within Brooklyn, where the average is 968, it is 255 points lower. Citywide it ranks 536 of 548. In Brooklyn it is 151 of 155.
Across 5 measured years, the school's average went from 781 in 2018 to 713 in 2022, down 68 points. 2022 is the lowest figure on record here. The peak was 802, back in 2020. Citywide the average moved down 40 points over the same span, so relative to the rest of New York this school is behind by 28 points.
The sharpest single move came between 2020 and 2021, when the average dropped 79 points in one year. That is the pandemic cohort, and it moved almost everywhere in the city, so it says more about the year than about the school. Its place in the citywide order moved from 487 of 499 in 2018 to 468 of 469 in 2022, a climb of 19 places.
The 2022 figure is the average of 17 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 0% on Reading and Writing cleared the College Board's college-readiness benchmark.
The highest average in Brooklyn that year belonged to Brooklyn Academy High School, at 777, 64 points ahead of New Dawn Charter High School. 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.
