A tiny private elementary school affiliated with the Church of God in Christ, serving pre-K through 5th grade with an extremely low student-teacher ratio.
The student body is 100% white, which makes this one of the least diverse schools you'll find in New York City. The diversity index of 0 is as low as it gets. For families who value socioeconomic and racial diversity in their children's peer group, this is a significant factor.
Crown Heights (South) is a densely populated Brooklyn neighborhood with a family density score of 82 out of 100. It's an area with deep Caribbean and African American roots, though this school's enrollment doesn't reflect that surrounding community.
The school sits in a walkable, urban neighborhood with high family density — practical for families living nearby, though you'll want to factor commute time into your decision.
