In 2025 admissions, 46 eighth graders at Mott Haven Charter School 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 the charter sector: 85th of 160, against a median of 48.
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 153 of the 162 schools listed in the charter sector for 2025.
The number of testers has held steady: 11 in 2023 admissions, 9 in 2024.
In the charter sector, the most offers in 2025 admissions went to students from Success Academy Charter School - Upper West (34), out of 124 published for the charter sector as a whole. The DOE’s file lists every charter school under district code 84, whatever its borough, so the comparison here is with other charter schools across the city, not with the neighborhood.
The DOE has listed this school under other names: “Mott Haven Academy Charter School” (2022, 2023). The figures above follow the school code, 84X394, which did not change.

“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.
