A Tiny School With Immense Personal Attention

Best suited for

Students who excel in extremely small learning environments with high individual attention, or those who benefit from the supportive structure that a social-services-based school provides. Ideal for families prioritizing personalized education over extensive extracurricular offerings.

What stands out
  • Tiny enrollment of 21 students across grades 9-12 — about 5 students per grade
  • Student-teacher ratio of 4.2:1 is among the lowest in NYC private schools
  • Diversity index of 0.93 — extremely diverse student body
  • Operated by SCO Family Services, a established NYC social services nonprofit
  • Nonsectarian — no religious affiliation
Things to consider
  • Very small size means limited extracurricular options and social variety
  • Low transit accessibility may make the commute challenging for many families
  • Safety score of 45/100 is below average — families should visit the neighborhood
  • With only 5 teachers total, course offerings may be limited
  • The tiny class sizes may not suit students who thrive in larger, more typical high school environments
