In 2021, students at Satellite Academy High School who sat the SAT averaged 725 out of 1600 — 356 on Math and 369 on Reading and Writing. That is 286 points below the 1011 averaged across the 461 New York City high schools that reported a score that year. Within Manhattan, where the average is 1048, it is 323 points lower. Citywide it ranks 534 of 548. In Manhattan it is 140 of 140.
Across 3 measured years, the school's average went from 801 in 2019 to 725 in 2021, down 76 points. 2021 is the lowest figure on record here. The peak was 801, back in 2019. Citywide the average moved up 8 points over the same span, so relative to the rest of New York this school is behind by 84 points.
The sharpest single move came between 2020 and 2021, when the average dropped 67 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 450 of 493 in 2019 to 460 of 461 in 2021, a slide of 10 places.
The 2021 figure is the average of 16 students at this school who actually sat the exam — not of the whole graduating class. That number has fallen sharply since 2019, when 24 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, 0% on Math and 0% on Reading and Writing cleared the College Board's college-readiness benchmark.

“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.
