P.S. 211 does not appear in the DOE's 2025 file. Its most recent figures are from 2022 admissions, which is what this page leads with. In 2022 admissions, 62 eighth graders at P.S. 211 applied to high school, and only 10 of them sat the SHSAT (16%). Across District 12 the rate was 24%, so this school sits 8 points below it. Citywide, among public middle schools that published both counts, 36% of eighth graders sat the test. It ranks 9th of 13 in District 12 on that measure. Its eighth grade is smaller than most in District 12: 13th of 15, against a median of 88.
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 12 that year.
2022 is the only year this school appears in the DOE’s file.
No school in District 12 had a published offer count in 2022 admissions: every one was 5 or fewer.

“2022 admissions” means students who sat the SHSAT as eighth graders in the 2021-22 school year and received offers for fall 2022, 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.
