Long Island School Districts Ranked by SAT Scores

The New York State Department of Education recently provided Patch with the average SAT scores for every school district in the state for 2015.

Patch hopes these reports will help inform parents, educators and communities about how well a public school is performing and preparing its students for college and careers.

The SAT includes three sections–critical reading, mathematics and writing. Below is the combined average score of each school, ranked highest to lowest; perfect score is 2400. (Note- Numerous changes were made for a new SAT exam first given in March, including returning the top score to 1600)
