A Small All-Boys Elementary with a 7.6:1 Ratio in Midwood
Best suited for
Families seeking a small, intimate all-boys elementary environment in Midwood with highly personalized attention. Particularly relevant if you value extremely low class sizes and want your son in a single-gender setting through elementary school. Families should directly verify the school's religious affiliation and programming to ensure alignment with their expectations.
What stands out
- Exceptional 7.6:1 student-teacher ratio — far below city averages
- Tiny enrollment of 307 students total across all grades
- All-boys environment through elementary years
- Pre-K through 5th grade under one roof
Things to consider
- 100% white student body — families seeking diversity may want to look elsewhere
- All-boys setting may not suit every family
- Religious affiliation listed (Church of God in Christ) may not align with the Hebrew-sounding school name — worth clarifying directly
- Very small school means limited extracurricular options typical of larger institutions
Identity
A private all-boys school affiliated with the Church of God in Christ denomination, though the Hebrew-sounding name (Ohr Shraga) and Orthodox-style branding suggest some cultural complexity worth investigating directly with the school.
Community
The student body is 100% white with zero diversity — this is an extremely homogeneous population. There is no data on economic diversity or other community characteristics.
Neighborhood
Midwood is a dense, residential Brooklyn neighborhood known for its family-friendly character. It has a mix of populations and sits in a part of the borough that feels removed from Manhattan but connected by good transit options.
Midwood is a walkable neighborhood with good access to local shops and services along Avenue L and the surrounding blocks.
