In 2022, students at School for Excellence who sat the SAT averaged 795 out of 1600 — 377 on Math and 418 on Reading and Writing. That is 174 points below the 969 averaged across the 469 New York City high schools that reported a score that year. Within Bronx, where the average is 904, it is 109 points lower. Citywide it ranks 432 of 548. In Bronx it is 103 of 146.
Across 6 measured years, the school's average went from 861 in 2017 to 795 in 2022, down 66 points. The peak was 861 in 2017 and the floor 761 in 2021, a spread of 100 points. Citywide the average moved down 47 points over the same span, so relative to the rest of New York this school is behind by 19 points.
The sharpest single move came between 2018 and 2019, when the average dropped 59 points in one year. Its place in the citywide order has hardly changed: 374 of 453 in 2017, 380 of 469 in 2022.
The 2022 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 2017, when 58 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 3% 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.
