New York City students’ SAT scores have improved across the board, while scores nationwide and in the rest of the state either fell or remained flat, announced Schools Chancellor Carmen Fariña on Wednesday, October 14.
According to the Department of Education, the average SAT math score for city high school seniors increased three points from 463 to 466, while the average critical reading score increased four points from 440 to 444 and the average writing score increased three points from 436 to 439.
To boot, 728 more students took the exam this year, bringing the total number from 47,950 to 48,678.
“I’m very encouraged to see more New York City students taking these exams and meeting the high bar that they set,” said Fariña. “I look forward to building on these gains as we work to make college access and success a reality for all our students.”
