- 11:1 student-teacher ratio — genuinely small by NYC private school standards
- Grades 9-12 complete secondary program in one school
- Total enrollment of 669 creates a medium-sized high school feel
- Private school setting with religious foundation
- Extremely homogeneous student body — 100% White, zero diversity
- Religious affiliation data may not match typical congregational labels — clarify directly with school if this matters to you
- Midwood location means longer commutes to Manhattan or other boroughs
- No diversity in the student population means limited exposure to different cultural perspectives
A traditional Jewish secondary school with very small class sizes and a focused academic environment. The 11:1 ratio is genuinely small for NYC private schools — think discussion-based classes, more individual attention, and teachers who can adapt to student needs.
The student body is entirely White (100%), with a diversity index of 0 — this is an extremely homogeneous community. If diversity of peer backgrounds is important to your family, that's a significant factor to consider.
Midwood is a residential Brooklyn neighborhood with moderate family density. It's quieter than downtown Brooklyn, with a mix of single-family homes and apartment buildings. The area has a strong Jewish community presence.
Midwood is walkable for daily errands but typically requires a car or bus for most commutes into Manhattan. Families should factor in travel time to other boroughs.
