In 2020, students at United Charter High School for Advanced Math and Science lV who sat the SAT averaged 861 out of 1600 — 425 on Math and 436 on Reading and Writing. That is 114 points below the 975 averaged across the 485 New York City high schools that reported a score that year. Within Queens, where the average is 978, it is 117 points lower. Citywide it ranks 290 of 548. In Queens it is 60 of 92.
Across 3 measured years, the school's average went from 958 in 2018 to 861 in 2020, down 97 points. 2020 is the lowest figure on record here. The peak was 958, back in 2018. Citywide the average moved down 34 points over the same span, so relative to the rest of New York this school is behind by 63 points.
The sharpest single move came between 2019 and 2020, when the average dropped 58 points in one year. That is the pandemic cohort, and it moved almost everywhere in the city, so it says more about the year than about the school. Its place in the citywide order moved from 164 of 499 in 2018 to 263 of 485 in 2020, a slide of 99 places.
The 2020 figure is the average of 110 students at this school who actually sat the exam — not of the whole graduating class. Of those test takers, 7% 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.

“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.
