SHSAT 2026: registration October 6–30; the test is November 14–15 (School Day November 18, 9th grade November 21).
In 2026 admissions, 96 eighth graders at Success Academy Charter School - Rosedale applied to high school and 45 of them sat the SHSAT, a participation rate of 47%. Across the charter sector the rate was 41%, so this school sits 6 points above it. Citywide, among public middle schools that published both counts, 39% of eighth graders sat the test. It ranks 53rd of 140 in the charter sector on that measure. Its eighth grade is the 15th largest of 167 in the charter sector, above the median of 44.
8 students from the school received an offer to one of the eight testing specialized high schools, 18% of its testers. Across the city, 4,023 offers went to 26,123 testers that year, 15.4%. It ranks 86th of the 111 middle schools whose 2026 offer count was large enough to be published.
The number of testers went from 28 in 2024 admissions to 45 in 2026, up 17. The eighth grade itself grew from 55 to 96 over the same years, so part of that movement is the size of the class, not the share sitting the test. In 2024 and 2025, the offer count was 5 or fewer and was not published; 2026 is the only year it cleared that line, at 8.
In the charter sector, the most offers in 2026 admissions went to students from Success Academy Charter School - Hell's Kitchen (36), out of 157 published for the charter sector as a whole. The DOE’s file lists every charter school under district code 84, whatever its borough, so the comparison here is with other charter schools across the city, 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.
