In 2024, students at Theatre Arts Production Company School who sat the SAT averaged 829 out of 1600 — 403 on Math and 426 on Reading and Writing. That is 150 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 79 points lower. Citywide it ranks 352 of 548. In Bronx it is 75 of 146.
Across 8 measured years, the school's average went from 917 in 2017 to 829 in 2024, down 88 points. The peak was 923 in 2018 and the floor 801 in 2023, a spread of 122 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 51 points.
The sharpest single move came between 2018 and 2019, when the average dropped 43 points in one year. Its place in the citywide order moved from 235 of 453 in 2017 to 306 of 461 in 2024, a slide of 71 places.
The 2024 figure is the average of 72 students at this school who actually sat the exam — not of the whole graduating class. Of those test takers, 2% on Math and 19% 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 Bronx that year belonged to The Bronx High School of Science, at 1447, 618 points ahead of Theatre Arts Production Company School. A gap that size is a different admissions pool, not a different amount of preparation.
