The New York City School System
Did you know that New York City is home to more than 1,600 public schools, as well as a number of private schools? As in any city and school district, certain schools offer stronger academic programs, and admission to these schools can be competitive. With almost 900,000 students in public schools alone, navigating the New York City educational system can be stressful.
Online or in-home tutoring can help you or your student stand out from the crowd. Private tutors in New York City can assist with challenging college coursework, difficult elementary school homework assignments, or test prep for exams like the ACT, ISEE, SAT, and SHSAT.
Here's a breakdown of SAT test scores in the city. How does your student measure up?
New York City Test Scores
If your child could use some help preparing for test day, consider the assistance of a New York SAT tutor.
The SHSAT, or Specialized High Schools Admissions Test, is unique to New York City’s specialized high schools. A great score can mean a spot at one of New York City’s top high schools, like the High School for Math, Science, and Engineering at City College or Staten Island Technical High School.
An expert New York City tutor can help students master exam content, learn new test-taking strategies, and build confidence. Eighth and ninth grade students typically take the SHSAT in the fall—generally in October or November.
