In 2023, students at School for Human Rights, The who sat the SAT averaged 801 out of 1600 — 380 on Math and 421 on Reading and Writing. That is 171 points below the 972 averaged across the 445 New York City high schools that reported a score that year. Within Brooklyn, where the average is 971, it is 170 points lower. Citywide it ranks 416 of 548. In Brooklyn it is 107 of 155.
Across 7 measured years, the school's average went from 864 in 2017 to 801 in 2023, down 63 points. 2023 is the lowest figure on record here. The peak was 887, back in 2018. Citywide the average moved down 44 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 2022 and 2023, when the average dropped 40 points in one year. Its place in the citywide order moved from 361 of 453 in 2017 to 351 of 444 in 2023, a climb of 10 places.
The 2023 figure is the average of 27 students at this school who actually sat the exam — not of the whole graduating class. That number has fallen sharply since 2017, when 113 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, 3% on Math and 23% on Reading and Writing cleared the College Board's college-readiness benchmark. The two sections are far apart here: Reading and Writing clears the bar for a much larger share of students than Math does, which is usually where a prep plan starts.
The highest average in Brooklyn that year belonged to Brooklyn International High School, at 832, 31 points ahead of School for Human Rights, The. The two sit close enough that a single strong cohort separates them.
