At a Glance
A small all-boys religious elementary program in the heart of South Williamsburg.
Best suited for
Families seeking a small, religiously affiliated all-boys elementary experience in Brooklyn who want strong subway access and a tight-knit school community.
What stands out
- All-boys single-sex environment for the elementary years
- Combined PK-5 program, so families don't need to navigate a middle-school transition
- 9.5:1 student-teacher ratio is well below the citywide average for private schools
- Three subway lines (G, M, J) all reachable within roughly six minutes on foot
- Sitting at 294 students, the school is small enough that teachers likely know every child by name
Things to consider
- The religious affiliation listed is Church of God in Christ — parents should verify this matches their expectations, since the name "Talmud Torah" reads differently
- All-boys format only fits families comfortable with single-sex elementary education
- PSS-reported demographics are highly homogeneous; speak with current families about the actual community
- The surrounding neighborhood has a very high poverty rate per census data, which is worth factoring into commute and after-school logistics
- Tuition, application process, and admissions timeline are not in the PSS data — request these directly
Identity
A combined PK-5 private elementary school for boys only, with religious affiliation listed as Church of God in Christ in PSS data. With 294 students across seven grade levels and a 9.5:1 student-teacher ratio, it operates at a small, close-knit scale.
Community
PSS data reports a student body that is 100% White, yielding a diversity index of 0 on a 0-1 scale — the most homogeneous reading possible. Families should confirm the current demographic picture directly with the school, as PSS self-reported figures can lag behind reality.
Neighborhood
South Williamsburg is a working-class Brooklyn neighborhood where the census shows a median household income around $38,784 and a poverty rate of 48.5%, with about 17.4% of adults holding a bachelor's degree or higher. The blocks around Penn Street reflect the dense, multigenerational character of this part of Brooklyn.
Transit is a major strength here — Broadway (G) is about a 2-minute walk, Hewes St (M, J) is also about a 2-minute walk, and Lorimer St (M, J) is about a 6-minute walk, giving families multiple lines within stroller-distance.
