College-Going Class of 2026 Celebrates Their 8th Grade Graduation

Congratulations to CQA’s college-going class of 2026! Our recent 8th grade graduates and their families celebrated their accomplishments at a packed-house graduation ceremony on June 23rd. These scholars persevered through so much to achieve notable success. For most of these scholars, they will be the first in their families to attend and complete college. They are well on their way and fully prepared for high school.

  • Over 80% passed the Earth Science Regents and over 90% passed the Algebra I Regents - both are high school-level exams.

  • 21% were accepted to specialized, selective or elite private high schools. The most for any CQA 8th grade class ever!

  • 75% were accepted to one of their top five high schools of choice.

  • 100% made us so very proud.

CQA’s college-going class of 2026 and their families, celebrated their accomplishments at a graduation ceremony on June 23, 2022.
