In 2024, students at The Urban Assembly Early College High School of Emergency Medicine who sat the SAT averaged 879 out of 1600 — 431 on Math and 448 on Reading and Writing. That is 100 points below the 979 averaged across the 461 New York City high schools that reported a score that year. Within Manhattan, where the average is 1034, it is 155 points lower. Citywide it ranks 237 of 548. In Manhattan it is 81 of 140.
Across 8 measured years, the school's average went from 954 in 2017 to 879 in 2024, down 75 points. The peak was 954 in 2017 and the floor 840 in 2022, a spread of 114 points. Citywide the average moved down 37 points over the same span, so relative to the rest of New York this school is behind by 38 points.
The sharpest single move came between 2021 and 2022, when the average dropped 82 points in one year. Its place in the citywide order moved from 168 of 453 in 2017 to 208 of 461 in 2024, a slide of 40 places.
The 2024 figure is the average of 61 students at this school who actually sat the exam — not of the whole graduating class. Of those test takers, 12% on Math and 32% 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 Manhattan that year belonged to Stuyvesant High School, at 1497, 618 points ahead of The Urban Assembly Early College High School of Emergency Medicine. 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.
