SHSAT 2026: registration October 6–30; the test is November 14–15 (School Day November 18, 9th grade November 21).
In 2026 admissions, 13 eighth graders at Robert E. Peary 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 the 7th largest of 19 in District 75, above the median of 11.
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 went from 6 in 2022 admissions to 12 in 2025, up 6. The eighth grade itself shrank from 80 to 13 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 2026 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.

“2026 admissions” means students who sat the SHSAT as eighth graders in the 2025-26 school year and received offers for fall 2026, as in the DOE’s Fall 2026 SHSAT and Discovery Summary. “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 6th or 7th grade
A 7th grader sits the SHSAT in fall 2027; a 6th grader, in fall 2028.
The test comes in the fall of 8th grade, so there is no deadline yet, and that is the point: starting now leaves time to work on reading and math at a steady pace instead of in the last weeks. The counts above show what happened at Robert E. Peary School, not where your child stands. We start with a scored official practice test, which does.
Your child is in 5th grade
Middle school applications are open until December 11.
Start with how many families applied for each seat last year: the DOE publishes it program by program. The middle school you choose is also where the SHSAT years happen, so ask the schools on your list how many of their students sit the test and how they prepare them.
