At a Glance
A large Satmar Hasidic girls' yeshiva serving a tight-knit Orthodox community in central Bed-Stuy.
Best suited for
Satmar Hasidic families seeking a single-sex Orthodox elementary education grounded in community, religious study, and Yiddish-language tradition.
What stands out
- One of the larger Hasidic girls' elementary schools in Brooklyn by enrollment, with over 1,300 students.
- All-girls Orthodox environment covering pre-K through fifth grade.
- Dual curriculum balancing intensive Jewish religious studies with secular academics.
- Strong community ties — the school primarily serves Satmar Hasidic families from the surrounding blocks.
Things to consider
- At roughly 1,370 students, this is far larger than most Brooklyn private schools, and the 16.4:1 student-teacher ratio is on the higher end.
- Parent-review ratings are notably low (1.5/10 and 3.9/10), though reviews of niche religious schools are often thin and unrepresentative.
- The all-girls, Orthodox Hasidic environment will only fit families seeking exactly that kind of education.
- Subway access is G-train only, which can be a commute consideration for families coming from outside the neighborhood.
- The school will not be the right match for families looking for a culturally diverse or coed setting.
Identity
An all-girls Orthodox Jewish elementary school rooted in the Satmar Hasidic tradition, one of the largest Hasidic communities in the world with deep roots in Brooklyn. The school provides a dual curriculum pairing religious study with secular academics from pre-K through fifth grade.
Community
The student body is drawn almost entirely from the surrounding Satmar Hasidic community, which gives the school strong cultural and religious coherence. By design, the school exists to serve families who want an education grounded in Yiddish, Torah study, and Hasidic observance, rather than a broadly diverse student body.
Neighborhood
The school sits in the West Bedford-Stuyvesant area of Brooklyn, where the median household income is about $77,685 and roughly 48% of adults hold a bachelor's degree or higher. The surrounding census tract reflects a mix of longtime residents and a growing Orthodox community presence. Three G-train stops serve the immediate vicinity.
The G train is the only subway option nearby, with Myrtle-Willoughby Avenues about a 6-minute walk, Flushing Avenue about 7 minutes, and Bedford-Nostrand Avenues about 10 minutes away.
