At a Glance

A Tiny Elementary Where Every Child Is Known by Name

Best suited for

Families seeking an extremely intimate, faith-connected elementary experience where their child will be known individually. Parents who prioritize personal attention over breadth of programming — and who are comfortable with a homogeneous community — may find this a good fit. The below-average safety score warrants a real, in-person neighborhood visit before committing.

What stands out

Ridiculously small class sizes — a 3.3:1 student-teacher ratio means near-individual instruction
Total enrollment of just 57 students creates a family-like atmosphere
Faith-based environment with Pentecostal Christian values
Pre-K through 5th grade all under one tiny roof

Things to consider

No diversity at all — the student body is 100% white with zero representation of other racial or ethnic groups
Safety score of 48/100 is below average for the city — parents should visit the neighborhood at different times
Very small size means limited extracurricular options and social circles
Religious affiliation may or may not align with what the Hebrew-named school suggests
The 2021-22 data is several years old — enrollment and staffing may have shifted

Identity

The Extremely Low Student-Teacher Ratio Suggests A Philosophy Of Individualized Attention And Close Relationships Between Teachers And Students. The Religious Affiliation (Church Of God In Christ, A Pentecostal Denomination) Likely Shapes Character Education And Values Instruction, Though The Hebrew-Derived School Name Indicates Cultural Influences Beyond Typical Christian Programming.

An exceptionally small elementary school with a Pentecostal religious affiliation and a 3.3:1 student-teacher ratio — this is personal, faith-infused education at a very intimate scale.

Community

Homogeneous

With 57 students total and 100% white enrollment, this is an extremely homogeneous community. There is no racial or ethnic diversity to speak of.

Neighborhood

Gravesend (West)

Gravesend (West) is a densely populated, family-heavy section of southern Brooklyn with moderate transit options but safety that rates below average. It's residential and real — not polished, not trendy, just everyday Brooklyn living.

Transit access is decent (71/100) for getting around the city, but this is a car-friendly part of Brooklyn where walking to amenities depends on where you're headed.
