In 2025 admissions, 111 eighth graders at M.S. 582 applied to high school, and only 23 of them sat the SHSAT (21%). Across District 14 the rate was 39%, so this school sits 18 points below it. Citywide, among public middle schools that published both counts, 37% of eighth graders sat the test. It had the lowest participation of the 7 schools in District 14 that published both counts. Its eighth grade is the 4th largest of 10 in District 14, above the median of 65.
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 8 of the 10 schools listed in District 14 for 2025.
The number of testers has held steady: 21 in 2022 admissions, 23 in 2025.
In District 14, the most offers in 2025 admissions went to students from I.S. 318 Eugenio Maria de Hostos (30), out of 36 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.
