At a Glance
A Tiny Religious Elementary School With Exceptionally Small Classes
Families prioritizing extremely small class sizes and individualized attention above all else, and who are comfortable with a homogeneous community. The religious affiliation may appeal to families seeking faith-based education, though the disconnect between the "Yeshiva" name and Christian affiliation warrants direct inquiry.
- Remarkably small size with only 73 students total
- 6.5:1 student-teacher ratio — among the lowest in NYC private schools
- Religious-affiliated elementary option in this part of Brooklyn
- Intimate classroom environment with significant individual attention
- Very homogeneous student body may limit exposure to diverse perspectives
- Church of God in Christ affiliation may not align with the Jewish-sounding school name — worth clarifying with the school
- Ultra-small scale means limited extracurricular options and social breadth
- 91.8% white enrollment may feel isolating for families seeking diversity
- Missing data on tuition and academic programs makes full evaluation difficult
