At a Glance

An Intimate All-Girls Setting Where Two Students Receive Five Teachers' Full Attention

Best suited for

Families seeking an intensely personalized, all-girls elementary experience in the Bronx who value extreme class size smallness over a traditional school community with peers. This would suit parents who prioritize individual attention above all else and are comfortable with the realities of a very small student body.

What stands out
  • Extremely small scale — only 2 students enrolled
  • 5 teachers providing near-individualized attention (0.4:1 student-teacher ratio)
  • All-girls environment for pre-K through 5th grade
  • Highest possible diversity index (1.0) with equal Black/Hispanic representation
  • Nonsectarian, welcoming all families
Things to consider
  • Very small enrollment means limited peer interaction for students
  • The school is all-girls — not a fit for families seeking coeducation
  • Norwood's safety score (8/100) is a significant factor to evaluate in person
  • With only 2 students, the school's long-term stability may be a concern
  • No information available on tuition or specific academic programs
IdentityThis School Operates On A Model Of Extreme Personalization — With 5 Teachers For 2 Students, There'S Essentially Individualized Attention Built Into The Structure. As A Nonsectarian Institution, It Welcomes Families Regardless Of Religious Background.

A tiny all-girls private school with an unusually high adult-to-student ratio, serving pre-K through 5th grade in the Bronx.

CommunityVery High — 50% Black, 50% Hispanic With A Diversity Index Of 1

With only two students, this is essentially a family-scale learning environment. The student body is equally divided between Black and Hispanic students, giving the school a Diversity Index of 1 — the highest possible score.
