Success Academy Fort Greene (Brooklyn 5) does not appear in the DOE's 2026 file. Its most recent figures are from 2023 admissions, which is what this page leads with. In 2023 admissions, 20 of the 26 eighth graders at Success Academy Fort Greene (Brooklyn 5) who applied to high school sat the SHSAT: 77%, which means most of the grade took the test. Across the charter sector the rate was 39%, so this school sits 38 points above it. Citywide, among public middle schools that published both counts, 36% of eighth graders sat the test. It ranks 2nd of 134 in the charter sector on that measure. Its eighth grade is smaller than most in the charter sector: 123rd of 159, against a median of 47.
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 154 of the 160 schools listed in the charter sector for 2023.
2023 is the only year this school appears in the DOE’s file.
In the charter sector, the most offers in 2023 admissions went to students from Success Academy Charter School - Union Square (26), out of 98 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.

“2023 admissions” means students who sat the SHSAT as eighth graders in the 2022-23 school year and received offers for fall 2023, as in the DOE’s Fall 2023 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.

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 Success Academy Fort Greene (Brooklyn 5), not where your child stands. We start with a scored official practice test, which does.
Your child is in 5th grade
