BET YAAKOV ATERET TORAH

Orthodox Jewish families seeking a Torah-centered all-girls education from early childhood through high school, who value very small classes and a tight-knit community over a larger coed environment.

• A 6:1 student-teacher ratio — exceptionally low even by private school standards — meaning each girl gets meaningful individualized attention.
• Single-campus continuity through early childhood, elementary, and high school, so families can stay put across major transitions.
• An all-girls Orthodox Jewish environment rooted in the Bet Yaakov tradition, where Torah learning is woven into the school day rather than treated as an elective.
• Located on Coney Island Avenue amid one of the densest concentrations of Orthodox Jewish family life in New York City.
• Large enough to offer real depth (676 students, 113 teachers) yet small enough that teachers typically know every girl by name.

• The all-girls, Orthodox Jewish orientation is central to identity, not optional — families should expect a fully Torah-observant environment, not secular academics with religion layered on top.
• Middle school grades (6-8) are not listed in PSS data, so families with daughters that age will want to ask directly where those years are served.
• As a single-sex school, this isn't the right fit for families who want coed classrooms or who anticipate wanting flexibility between single-sex and coed environments.
• The 100% White classification under DOE racial categories reflects the school's cultural focus, but means PSS data shows limited racial diversity in the standard demographic sense.
• Tuition and financial aid figures are not included in PSS reporting — direct outreach to the school is the way to get current costs.
