In 2025 admissions, 14 eighth graders at P.S. K140 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 the 9th largest of 23 in District 75, above the median of 9.
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 75 that year.
The number of testers has held steady: 7 in 2022 admissions, 6 in 2024. The eighth grade itself shrank from 37 to 14 over the same years, so part of that movement is the size of the class, not the share sitting the test.
No school in District 75 had a published offer count in 2025 admissions: every one was 5 or fewer. District 75 is the DOE’s citywide district for students with significant challenges, with schools in every borough, so its schools are compared with each other, not with the neighborhood.

“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.
