Twenty-eight of our middle school students were selected to participate in the DOE's DREAM-SHSI. DREAM-SHSI is an extracurricular program of rigorous coursework designed to assist eligible NYC students in preparing for the Specialized High School Admissions Test (SHSAT).
Students were selected by the DOE based on the following criteria:
- be a current 6th grade student,
- be economically disadvantaged as defined by Title 1 Free Lunch status,
- have a minimum scale score of 312 on the 2013 grade 5 NYS ELA exam,
- have a minimum scale score of 306 on the 2013 grade 5 NYS Math exam, and
- have had a minimum attendance rate of 90% during grade 5.
Letters to qualifying students were distributed to them on November 7th and are to be returned by November 12th.
Congratulations to students and their parents!
If you have any questions regarding DREAM-SHSI, please reach out to Mr. Diaz, our middle school guidance counselor.
