In 2025 admissions, 564 eighth graders at I.S. 73 - The Frank Sansivieri Intermediate School applied to high school and 212 of them sat the SHSAT, a participation rate of 38%. Across District 24 the rate was 29%, so this school sits 9 points above it. Citywide, among public middle schools that published both counts, 37% of eighth graders sat the test. It ranks 5th of 15 in District 24 on that measure. Its eighth grade is the 2nd largest of 15 in District 24, above the median of 216.
36 students from the school received an offer to one of the eight testing specialized high schools, 17% of its testers. Across the city, 4,023 offers went to 25,933 testers that year, 15.5%. It is the 27th highest count of the 116 middle schools whose 2025 offer count was large enough to be published.
The number of testers ended close to where it began, 225 in 2022 admissions and 212 in 2025, but not in a straight line: it fell by 95 between 2023 and 2024. The eighth grade itself shrank from 713 to 564 over the same years, so part of that movement is the size of the class, not the share sitting the test. Offers went from 29 in 2022 to 36 in 2025, with a high of 43 in 2024.
Within District 24, no school received more offers in 2025 admissions; this one accounts for 31% of the 117 published for the district.
Discovery, the DOE’s summer program that offers a specialized high school seat to disadvantaged students who complete it, counted 24 of its students in 2022, 14 in 2023, 14 in 2024 and 17 in 2025.

“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.

Middle school applications: October 14 to December 11.
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.
