In 2025 admissions, 181 eighth graders at MS 419 applied to high school, and only 29 of them sat the SHSAT (16%). Across District 24 the rate was 29%, so this school sits 13 points below it. Citywide, among public middle schools that published both counts, 37% of eighth graders sat the test. It ranks 13th of 15 in District 24 on that measure. Its eighth grade is smaller than most in District 24: 9th of 15, against a median of 216.
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 9 of the 15 schools listed in District 24 for 2025.
2025 is the only year this school appears in the DOE’s file.
In District 24, the most offers in 2025 admissions went to students from I.S. 73 - The Frank Sansivieri Intermediate School (36), out of 117 published for the district as a whole.

“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.

Your child is in 5th grade
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.
