In 2024, students at The High School for Enterprise, Business and Technology who sat the SAT averaged 824 out of 1600 — 409 on Math and 415 on Reading and Writing. That is 155 points below 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 157 points lower. Citywide it ranks 361 of 548. In Brooklyn it is 91 of 155.
Across 8 measured years, the school's average went from 885 in 2017 to 824 in 2024, down 61 points. 2024 is the lowest figure on record here. The peak was 895, back in 2018. Citywide the average moved down 37 points over the same span, so relative to the rest of New York this school is behind by 24 points.
The sharpest single move came between 2022 and 2023, when the average dropped 35 points in one year. Its place in the citywide order has hardly changed: 315 of 453 in 2017, 315 of 461 in 2024.
The 2024 figure is the average of 88 students at this school who actually sat the exam — not of the whole graduating class. That number has fallen sharply since 2017, when 167 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, 5% on Math and 21% 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 Technical High School, at 1405, 581 points ahead of The High School for Enterprise, Business and Technology. 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.
