In 2024, students at The Marie Curie High School for Medicine, Nursing, and Health Professions who sat the SAT averaged 763 out of 1600 — 375 on Math and 388 on Reading and Writing. That is 216 points below the 979 averaged across the 461 New York City high schools that reported a score that year. Within Bronx, where the average is 908, it is 145 points lower. Citywide it ranks 496 of 548. In Bronx it is 129 of 146.
Across 8 measured years, the school's average went from 896 in 2017 to 763 in 2024, down 133 points. 2024 is the lowest figure on record here. The peak was 896, back in 2017. Citywide the average moved down 37 points over the same span, so relative to the rest of New York this school is behind by 96 points.
The sharpest single move came between 2023 and 2024, when the average dropped 77 points in one year. Its place in the citywide order moved from 276 of 453 in 2017 to 419 of 461 in 2024, a slide of 143 places.
The 2024 figure is the average of 51 students at this school who actually sat the exam — not of the whole graduating class. That number has fallen sharply since 2017, when 90 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 15% on Reading and Writing cleared the College Board's college-readiness benchmark.
The highest average in Bronx that year belonged to The Bronx High School of Science, at 1447, 684 points ahead of The Marie Curie High School for Medicine, Nursing, and Health Professions. 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.
