Success Academy Prospect Heights (Brooklyn 6) does not appear in the DOE's 2026 file. Its most recent figures are from 2022 admissions, which is what this page leads with. In 2022 admissions, 46 of the 52 eighth graders at Success Academy Prospect Heights (Brooklyn 6) who applied to high school sat the SHSAT: 88%, which means most of the grade took the test. Across the charter sector the rate was 33%, so this school sits 55 points above it. Citywide, among public middle schools that published both counts, 36% of eighth graders sat the test. No school in the charter sector had a higher share of its eighth grade sit the SHSAT that year. Its eighth grade is smaller than most in the charter sector: 117th of 153, against a median of 75.
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 146 of the 154 schools listed in the charter sector for 2022.
2022 is the only year this school appears in the DOE’s file.
In the charter sector, the most offers in 2022 admissions went to students from Success Academy Charter School - Upper West (22), out of 99 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.

“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 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 Success Academy Prospect Heights, 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.
