TORAH ACADEMY FOR GIRLS HIGH SCHOOL

636 LANETT AVENUE

At a Glance

An all-girls religious school with extraordinary personal attention in a historically homogeneous community

Best suited for

Families seeking a religious all-girls high school with small class sizes and a tight-knit, homogeneous community — typically those already embedded in the specific religious community the school serves. Best fit for families who prioritize personalized attention and shared values over demographic diversity.

What stands out
  • Exceptional 8:1 student-teacher ratio — each student gets substantial individual attention
  • All-girls environment may suit families seeking single-sex education
  • Large enrollment of ~1,800 provides robust class offerings and activities
  • Religious school community with shared values and traditions
Things to consider
  • No racial or ethnic diversity in the student body — important if exposure to diverse peers matters to your family
  • Religious affiliation in data (Church of God in Christ) conflicts with the Jewish school name — clarify directly with admissions
  • Far Rockaway location may mean a longer commute from other parts of Queens or Manhattan
  • 100% white enrollment may indicate the school draws from a very specific religious or cultural community
IdentityThe Religious Affiliation Listed Is Church Of God In Christ, Though The School Name Suggests A Jewish Orthodox Tradition. This Discrepancy May Warrant Direct Inquiry With The School To Understand Their Actual Religious Programming And Values.

An all-girls religious high school serving grades 9-12 with an 8:1 student-teacher ratio — this is small and personal despite the large enrollment numbers.
