Summary

Junior High School 14 Shell Bank is a public middle school in Brooklyn, New York, serving grades 6-8 with a student population of 478. The school is part of the New York City Geographic District #22, which is ranked 412 out of 874 districts in the state.

Academically, Junior High School 14 Shell Bank has consistently underperformed compared to the district and state averages in English Language Arts (ELA) and Math assessments. However, the school has shown exceptional performance in specific areas, such as achieving a 100% proficiency rate in Regents/Algebra I in the 2024-2025 school year. The school's performance has also been somewhat inconsistent over the years, with significant fluctuations in its statewide ranking and proficiency rates.

When compared to other middle schools in the same district, Junior High School 14 Shell Bank generally underperforms. For example, Andries Hudde and Junior High School 78 Roy H Mann, both within a 2.5-mile radius, have higher academic proficiency rates and better overall performance. Additionally, the school's high concentration of students from low-income families, with over 90% eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, may be a contributing factor to its struggles.

Saturday, March 7, 2015

This school is a hidden treasure. The stats you see here are NOT indicative of what happens there. The. Progress Rating for this school has been number one for three years in a row, The NYS test score comparison is misleading because the tests have changed over the last 3 years, and websites like this one do not measure what is important. My child is a child- a student- a shinig star in my eyes who needs to see their own potential. The staff at this school is the most caring and nurturing I have seen in district 22. My child is not a test score, and the school is not one either. They have small classes, and schedule small group instruction based on the needs of the students. BASED ON THE INDIVIDUAL NEEDS of the student. NO OTHER SCHOOL DOES THIS. The school offers diverse activities, and character education and has organized activities for the staff and students and parents to participate in . NO OTHER SCHOOL DOES THIS. This school looks to educate and support academic , social and emotional issues of the adolescent . NO OTHER SCHOOL DOES THAT. You need to go see this school and not count it out based on a website that is not affiliated with the Department of Education . Close Quote
