In 2025 admissions, 125 eighth graders at Evergreen Middle School for Urban Exploration applied to high school and 35 of them sat the SHSAT, a participation rate of 28%. Across District 32 the rate was 33%, so this school sits 5 points below it. Citywide, among public middle schools that published both counts, 37% of eighth graders sat the test. It ranks 6th of 8 in District 32 on that measure. Its eighth grade is the 2nd largest of 9 in District 32, above the median of 79.
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 true of every school in District 32 that year.
The number of testers ended close to where it began, 37 in 2022 admissions and 35 in 2025, but not in a straight line: it fell by 17 between 2022 and 2023.
No school in District 32 had a published offer count in 2025 admissions: every one was 5 or fewer.

“2025 admissions” means students who sat the SHSAT as eighth graders in the 2024-25 school year and received offers for fall 2025, as in the DOE’s admissions outcomes report. “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.

The middle school you choose now is where the SHSAT years happen. These counts show how many eighth graders sit the test at each school and how many get an offer; they do not say why. Ask the schools on your list how many of their students sit the SHSAT and how they prepare them, and plan the preparation for 6th and 7th grade, not for the October of 8th.
