At a Glance
An all-boys elementary with a 11:1 ratio in South Brooklyn — but expect zero diversity
Best suited for
Families who prioritize a small, all-boys environment with high adult-to-student ratios and are comfortable with a racially homogeneous peer group. Best fit if you value the traditional structure of single-gender education and aren't seeking diversity exposure at this stage. Worth calling to clarify the religious affiliation before applying.
What stands out
- 11:1 student-teacher ratio — genuinely small and personal
- All-boys environment from pre-K through 5th grade
- Total enrollment of 442 across six grades — very small by NYC private school standards
- Located in South Brooklyn's Gravesend/Homecrest neighborhood
Things to consider
- Zero racial diversity — the student body is 100% White
- Conflicting religious identity: "yeshiva" (Jewish) in name but Church of God in Christ (Pentecostal Christian) listed as affiliation — verify which is accurate
- Small size can mean limited extracurricular options compared to larger schools
- Single-gender setting means no interaction with girls until middle school
Identity
An all-boys private school serving pre-K through 5th grade with a conservative religious affiliation. The "yeshiva" name suggests Jewish educational tradition, though the data lists Church of God in Christ as the religious affiliation — worth calling the school to clarify.
Community
This is an extremely homogeneous community — 100% White enrollment with a Diversity Index of 0. Your son will grow up in a bubble demographically. For some families, this is a feature (shared values, similar backgrounds); for others, it's a significant drawback (lack of exposure to different perspectives, cultures, and friendships).
Neighborhood
Gravesend and Homecrest in South Brooklyn is a residential neighborhood with moderate family density (68/100). It's largely working to middle-class, with a mix of older Italian-American families and more recent Orthodox Jewish and other immigrant communities. Ocean Parkway is a major thoroughfare.
Ocean Parkway is a busy, wide avenue. Families typically drive or use public transit rather than walk long distances.
