We're proud to have partnered with @AdmissionSquad to provide free SHSAT test prep this year. Congrats to our students who took the SHSAT over the weekend!

📝 Test day is finally here! Good luck to all of the students taking the SHSAT this weekend! 💪

Thank you to all of the parents, guardians, teachers, and tutors whose support has prepared students for this day.

Wishing you all the best! 🙌

Taking the #SHSAT is one of the most stressful days for middle schoolers. With ambiguity leading up to the week of the test, NYC should communicate expectations better. We firmly believe the SHSAT should be offered on weekdays to increase access for all. https://t.co/GSuEftkale

Getting into #NYC's specialty high schools is tough. But with some kids getting expensive tutoring, @EdEquityNYC is working to help children of color have an even chance prepping for the #SHSAT: https://t.co/yxbYhTfzz0 @HSanchezTV #cbsnewyork

Every child deserves access to programs that cultivate their talent. We can improve diversity from a young age by:
✅ Having a Gifted & Talented program in every NYC district.
✅ Ensuring that each student has the opportunity to take the SHSAT.

[Education Equity @EdEquityNYC]

Experts and students shared their SHSAT experiences with us. They all agree - we need to do more to prepare all students for the exam and make sure that they have access to it. Read our proposal to learn more 👉 https://t.co/gc2jTgP4Hl

In a city of 8.6 million, we need more than eight specialized high schools. Right now there are only 15,000 seats for over 360,000 high school students. Learn more about our proposal to create more opportunity 👇👇👇

Inequities in our specialized high school system start way before the admissions test – we need to fix the pipeline. That means investing in our middle schools.
