In 2024, students at Port Richmond High School who sat the SAT averaged 870 out of 1600 — 430 on Math and 440 on Reading and Writing. That is 109 points below the 979 averaged across the 461 New York City high schools that reported a score that year. Within Staten Island, where the average is 1023, it is 153 points lower. Citywide it ranks 262 of 548. In Staten Island it is 12 of 15.
Across 8 measured years, the school's average went from 940 in 2017 to 870 in 2024, down 70 points. The peak was 940 in 2017 and the floor 844 in 2022, a spread of 96 points. Citywide the average moved down 37 points over the same span, so relative to the rest of New York this school is behind by 33 points.
The sharpest single move came between 2021 and 2022, when the average dropped 57 points in one year. Its place in the citywide order moved from 194 of 453 in 2017 to 229 of 461 in 2024, a slide of 35 places.
The 2024 figure is the average of 299 students at this school who actually sat the exam — not of the whole graduating class. Of those test takers, 9% on Math and 21% on Reading and Writing cleared the College Board's college-readiness benchmark.
The highest average in Staten Island that year belonged to Staten Island Technical High School, at 1436, 566 points ahead of Port Richmond High School. A gap that size is a different admissions pool, not a different amount of preparation.
