In 2024, students at New Utrecht High School who sat the SAT averaged 1004 out of 1600 — 515 on Math and 489 on Reading and Writing. That is 25 points above 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 23 points higher. Citywide it ranks 75 of 548. In Brooklyn it is 14 of 155.
Across 8 measured years, the school's average went from 1027 in 2017 to 1004 in 2024, down 23 points. The peak was 1042 in 2021 and the floor 963 in 2023, a spread of 79 points. 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 2021 and 2022, when the average dropped 78 points in one year. Its place in the citywide order moved from 91 of 453 in 2017 to 70 of 461 in 2024, a climb of 21 places.
The 2024 figure is the average of 562 students at this school who actually sat the exam — not of the whole graduating class. That number has fallen sharply since 2017, when 762 students were counted, so year-to-year moves here reflect a changing group of test takers as much as anything else. Of those test takers, 37% on Math and 46% 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, 401 points ahead of New Utrecht 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.
