At a Glance

A Small, Homogeneous Elementary in a Diverse Queens Neighborhood

Best suited for

Families who prioritize very small class sizes and intimate learning environments, and who are comfortable with a racially homogeneous student body. Those seeking diverse peer experiences or a more typical yeshiva education may want to look elsewhere.

What stands out
  • Exceptional student-teacher ratio of 6.6:1 — much smaller than most NYC private schools
  • Very small school with only 904 total students across pre-K through 5th grade
  • Located in a quiet, residential Queens neighborhood with strong family community ties
Things to consider
  • Extremely homogeneous student body (99.9% White) — families seeking diversity may find this a mismatch
  • Religious affiliation (Church of God in Christ) may not align with expectations from the "Yeshiva" name — worth clarifying directly with the school
  • Located in Queens, which may mean a longer commute for families in Manhattan or Brooklyn
  • Tuition costs for private school are not listed but represent a significant investment
IdentityThe School'S Philosophy Is Not Explicitly Stated In Available Data, But The Extremely Low Student-Teacher Ratio Suggests An Emphasis On Individualized Attention And Close Student-Faculty Relationships.

A small private elementary school with an unusually high student-teacher ratio, offering intimate class sizes. The religious affiliation listed (Church of God in Christ) is atypical for a school bearing the "Yeshiva" name, and families may want to directly verify the school's actual religious programming and values.

CommunityHomogeneous

The student body is exceptionally homogeneous, with 99.9% White enrollment. This lack of diversity means the school does not reflect the multicultural fabric of New York City or even its surrounding Queens neighborhood, which has become increasingly diverse in recent decades.

NeighborhoodKew Gardens Hills

Kew Gardens Hills is a residential neighborhood in central Queens, historically known as a middle-class Jewish community. It offers a family-friendly atmosphere with decent density (48/100 family density score) and convenient access to transportation.

The school is located in a residential area of Queens; families should consider commute logistics, as getting to and from Kew Gardens Hills often requires a car or reliance on public buses and the subway.
