I got a 1520 on the SAT, but I got a 6/4/6 on the Essay. I’m aiming for mostly Ivy Leagues. I’ve read online that a good Essay score is a 6 or above in every section (This information might be false). Should I retake the SAT just for the Essay? I’m relatively happy with my main score.
The essay score isn’t even looked at, by many colleges.

Outside of West Point, I’m not aware of any schools that require the essay any more, many now don’t even consider it, and (my opinion) those that do put very little weight on them.
I wouldn’t bother.
