Young Women's Leadership School does not appear in the DOE's 2025 file. Its most recent figures are from 2023 admissions, which is what this page leads with. In 2023 admissions, 51 eighth graders at Young Women's Leadership School applied to high school and 14 of them sat the SHSAT, a participation rate of 27%. That is close to the 31% rate across District 4. Citywide, among public middle schools that published both counts, 36% of eighth graders sat the test. It ranks 5th of 12 in District 4 on that measure. Its eighth grade is smaller than most in District 4: 11th of 14, against a median of 65.
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 13 of the 14 schools listed in District 4 for 2023.
The number of testers has held steady: 11 in 2022 admissions, 14 in 2023.
In District 4, the most offers in 2023 admissions went to students from Tag Young Scholars (35), out of 35 published for the district as a whole.

“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 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.
