In 2024, students at VOYAGES Preparatory who sat the SAT averaged 767 out of 1600 — 386 on Math and 381 on Reading and Writing. That is 212 points below the 979 averaged across the 461 New York City high schools that reported a score that year. Within Queens, where the average is 966, it is 199 points lower. Citywide it ranks 489 of 548. In Queens it is 86 of 92.
Across 7 measured years, the school's average went from 899 in 2018 to 767 in 2024, down 132 points. The peak was 899 in 2018 and the floor 759 in 2023, a spread of 140 points. Citywide the average moved down 30 points over the same span, so relative to the rest of New York this school is behind by 102 points.
The sharpest single move came between 2022 and 2023, when the average dropped 46 points in one year. Its place in the citywide order moved from 273 of 499 in 2018 to 412 of 461 in 2024, a slide of 139 places.
The 2024 figure is the average of 18 students at this school who actually sat the exam — not of the whole graduating class. That number has fallen sharply since 2018, when 29 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, 1% on Math and 2% on Reading and Writing cleared the College Board's college-readiness benchmark.
The highest average in Queens that year belonged to Queens High School for the Sciences at York College, at 1463, 696 points ahead of VOYAGES Preparatory. 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.
