Getting in (Fall 2026 admissions)
In Fall 2026 middle school admissions, Archimedes Academy admitted sixth graders through 2 programs (D75 Special Education Inclusive Services, Open).
Its most requested program, Archimedes Academy for Math, Science and Technology Applications, had 50 general education applicants for 75 seats, 1 applicant per seat in the DOE's count.
The DOE marks that program’s general education seats as not all filled.

Fall 2026 admissions: families applied in fall 2025 for sixth grade in September 2026. Seats, applicants and applicants per seat are the DOE’s, from its Fall 2026 Middle School Data file on InfoHub (saved by the DOE 2026-09-18), the same figures MySchools shows as last year’s demand. The DOE counts applicants this way: “MySchools shows the true number of applicants who were considered for a seat in a program, meaning this number excludes applicants who matched to a more preferred choice from their application.” (schools.nyc.gov, read October 4, 2026). Applicants per seat is the DOE’s own figure, rounded to a whole number, so 0 means fewer than one applicant for every two seats. “All filled” is the DOE’s flag for whether every seat in that group was filled; “n/a” means the file gives no figure. Seats and demand change every year; this page does not turn them into a chance of admission.
In 2026 admissions, 47 eighth graders at Archimedes Academy for Math, Science and Technology Applications applied to high school. The number who sat the SHSAT was 5 or fewer, a count the DOE does not publish, so no participation rate can be given for that year. Its eighth grade is smaller than most in District 8: 15th of 16, against a median of 96.
The number of its students who received an offer to a specialized high school was 5 or fewer. The DOE does not publish counts that small, so it could be any number from zero to five; this page does not guess. That is the case at 15 of the 16 schools listed in District 8 for 2026.
The number of testers went from 16 in 2022 admissions to 12 in 2025, down 4. The eighth grade itself shrank from 76 to 47 over the same years, so part of that movement is the size of the class, not the share sitting the test.
In District 8, the most offers in 2026 admissions went to students from M.S. X101 Edward R. Byrne (11), out of 11 published for the district as a whole.

“2026 admissions” means students who sat the SHSAT as eighth graders in the 2025-26 school year and received offers for fall 2026, as in the DOE’s Fall 2026 SHSAT and Discovery Summary. “8th graders” counts the school’s eighth graders who applied to high school; “took the test” divides testers by that count when both are published. The district row adds the published counts of its schools, so its offers are a floor; the city row is the DOE’s own total. “Not listed” means the school is absent from that year’s file.

What to do with these numbers
Your child is in 8th grade now
Registration closes October 30. Test day: November 18.
November 18 is the SHSAT School Day; the weekend sittings are November 14/15 and November 21. Whatever the count at Archimedes Academy, the decision to sit the test is yours, and a scored official practice test tells you more about your own child than any school figure.

Your child is in 6th or 7th grade
A 7th grader sits the SHSAT in fall 2027; a 6th grader, in fall 2028.
The test comes in the fall of 8th grade, so there is no deadline yet, and that is the point: starting now leaves time to work on reading and math at a steady pace instead of in the last weeks. The counts above show what happened at Archimedes Academy, not where your child stands. We start with a scored official practice test, which does.
Your child is in 5th grade
Middle school applications: October 14 to December 11.
Start with how many families applied for each seat last year: the DOE publishes it program by program. The middle school you choose is also where the SHSAT years happen, so ask the schools on your list how many of their students sit the test and how they prepare them.
