You can see in the chart below that SHSAT cut off scores change every year and that the ranked order of schools changes as well, based on those changing scores.
Stuy is always at the top. Brooklyn Latin is always at the bottom. Brooklyn Tech is almost always 7th. The rest move around and you can see big swing over years.
For example HSMSE scores have vacillated between 504 to 539. Queens Science between 507 and 531. Those variables are based on how kids did on the SHSAT and how they ranked.
The DOE started reporting SHSAT scores in 2022. Hard to imagine but before that, nothing. Scores were self reported and so the years before that aren’t official.
