REACH FOR THE STARS LEARNING CENTER

1818 AVENUE P

At a Glance

A Tiny, Highly Personalized Elementary School in Midwood

Best suited for

Families seeking an intimate, highly supervised learning environment for young children, particularly those who benefit from significant adult attention or have learning needs that require low student-to-adult ratios. This school suits parents who prioritize personalized care over a large peer community.

What stands out
  • Extraordinarily low student-teacher ratio (0.7:1) — among the lowest in the city
  • Tiny community of just 21 students creates a family-like atmosphere
  • Serves pre-K through 5th grade in a combined setting
  • Nonsectarian with no religious affiliation requirements
Things to consider
  • Very small enrollment may limit extracurricular offerings and social breadth
  • Extremely high teacher-to-student ratio may reflect inclusion of specialists rather than classroom teachers — worth clarifying during a visit
  • Predominantly white student body may not reflect Brooklyn's broader diversity
  • May feel too small for children who thrive in larger peer groups
  • As a private school, tuition costs will be significant
IdentityThe School Emphasizes Individualized Learning In A Small-Group Setting. With 30 Teachers For 21 Students, The Ratio Suggests Extensive Adult Support, Possibly Including Specialists, Aides, And Targeted Interventions. This Model Works Well For Children Who Thrive With Personalized Attention Or Need Extra Support.

A nonsectarian progressive elementary school with an unusually low student-teacher ratio — this means your child will get far more one-on-one time with adults than at typical schools

CommunityModerate

The student body is predominantly white (71.4%) with meaningful Asian representation (23.8%). There is minimal Hispanic, Black, or multiracial representation.
