[edit] Mission
Sheepshead Bay High School is a large, multi-cultural high school in Brooklyn. There are currently 3150 students enrolled, in grades 9 through 12. Students are mostly Black (53%), with 22% Asian, 13% hispanic, and 12% white. 580 are English language learners, and around 400 are special education students. [1]
Average attendance at the high school 27% is lower than in similar schools, but has risen from .5% recently and has been affected by the large number of students who remain on the register, but who have seldom or never attended. Apart from these, most students have good levels of attendance.
The school provides a wide range of courses, including generous sports and music programs, courses in law and health education, and Fastrack programs for under-credited students. A higher than average number of students graduate in the Regents Examinations and many go on to college, including some to competitive and demanding courses.
[edit] Trivial
The school is named after the local neighborhood which is called the Sheepshead Bay. The bay is famous for a fish named sheepshead.
