At a Glance
A small, all-boys Pentecostal elementary school with close teacher attention in Borough Park.
Best suited for
Families looking for a small, faith-centered, all-boys elementary education where teachers know every child and the community shares a religious tradition.
What stands out
- An all-boys format from pre-K through fifth grade, with peers who stay together year after year.
- A notably low student-teacher ratio of about 11:1, supporting the small, attentive feel parents describe.
- Practical computer coursework including QuickBooks, Word, Excel, and PowerPoint — unusual for the elementary level.
- A wide roster of extracurriculars for a small school, from dancing and plays to sports and carnivals.
- Rolling admissions with no fixed deadline, making mid-year entry possible for relocating families.
Things to consider
- Demographics are essentially uniform — families seeking exposure to a wide range of backgrounds should weigh this carefully.
- The school runs through fifth grade only, so families will need to plan a separate middle school transition.
- As a small faith-based school, extracurricular variety and facilities are modest compared with larger independents.
- Borough Park is a fit for families comfortable with a working-class, tight-knit residential neighborhood rather than a polished campus setting.
Identity
A faith-based all-boys elementary school affiliated with the Church of God in Christ and accredited by the Southern Baptist Association of Christian Schools. With about 311 students across PK through fifth grade, the school keeps classes small and personal. Religious instruction is part of the daily rhythm here.
Community
Enrollment is reported as entirely White, reflecting a demographically homogeneous student body drawn from one faith community. The all-boys format extends across every grade, so boys learn alongside same-age peers their entire elementary career.
Neighborhood
Borough Park is a working-class and middle-class Brooklyn neighborhood where median household income sits around $52,500 and roughly a third of households live below the poverty line. About one in five adults holds a bachelor's degree, which is lower than the borough average and signals a community rooted more in family-run businesses and trades than in white-collar work. The school sits on 14th Avenue, the neighborhood's main commercial spine.
The 55 St (D) stop is about a four-minute walk, with 50 St (D) and 62 St (D) both around eight minutes away — easy access along the D line for families coming from elsewhere in Brooklyn.
