J.H.S. 014 Shell Bank

J.H.S. 014 Shell Bank, a middle school in Sheepshead Bay, Brooklyn, serves a diverse student body with a focus on a well-rounded education. The school is particularly noted for its Infinity Program, the only screened advanced learners' program in District 22, which offers a rigorous curriculum, accelerated classes, and opportunities for Regents courses, demonstrating strong outcomes in subjects like Algebra I. While parent feedback consistently highlights caring teachers and strong family relationships, student surveys indicate some concerns regarding school cleanliness, fair conflict resolution, and instances of student misbehavior. Academically, ELA proficiency is below the citywide 25th percentile, and math proficiency is below the median, though the school aims to foster curiosity and creativity across all learners. Shell Bank also provides comprehensive special education services, including ACES and ASD Horizon programs, and is the only barrier-free building in its district. Its multilingual staff supports a vibrant, inclusive environment.
