This is an all-girls private school with a religious affiliation serving elementary-aged girls. With 1,370 students across pre-K through 5th grade, it's one of the larger elementary schools in the city's private system. The 16.4:1 student-teacher ratio suggests classrooms that are personal but not intimate — more structure than the tiny progressive schools with 5:1 ratios.
This school has a 100% white student body with no documented racial or ethnic diversity — a homogeneity that's rare in NYC's private school landscape. All 1,370 students are white, with zero percent representation of Black, Hispanic, Asian, or multiracial students.
The school sits in Bedford-Stuyvesant (West), a neighborhood in central Brooklyn with a family density score of 85/100 — indicating a very family-oriented area. Notably, this is a historically Black neighborhood, yet the school's student body does not reflect the surrounding community's demographics.
The neighborhood's high family density suggests it's well-suited for families with children, though specific transit and walkability would depend on exact location within the area.
