A Tiny Faith-Based School Where Every Student Is Known by Name

- 5.6:1 student-teacher ratio — among the smallest in the city
- Tiny enrollment of 80 students creates a family-like atmosphere
- Exceptional diversity (0.9561 diversity index) for a private religious school
- Church of Christ affiliation offers faith-based foundation uncommon in Manhattan
- 90/100 family density score means lots of other families in the neighborhood
- Very small school may not offer extensive athletics, arts, or extracurricular programming
- 80 total students means limited peer diversity within grade levels
- Private tuition required — Church of Christ affiliation doesn't mean discounts
- Graduating class size is tiny (roughly 20 students) — limited social options within cohort
- Some families may prefer a larger student body for college prep networking
A small, faith-based private secondary school affiliated with the Church of Christ, serving grades 9-12 with an unusually intimate 5.6:1 student-teacher ratio.
This is a surprisingly diverse student body for a private religious school — nearly half the students identify as Black or Hispanic, with a diversity index of 0.9561, which is remarkably high. The tiny enrollment means tight-knit community bonds form naturally.
