YESHIVAT MAGEN ABRAHAM

345 AVENUE U

At a Glance

An intimate all-boys high school with a 2:1 student-teacher ratio in southern Brooklyn

Best suited for

Boys who thrive in extremely small settings with near-individual attention, and families specifically seeking an all-boys environment with religious grounding. Parents who prioritize diversity should look elsewhere, as this school offers none.

What stands out

  • Extraordinarily small scale — only 40 students total across all four grades
  • 2:1 student-teacher ratio — nearly one-on-one attention for every student
  • All-boys environment with religious affiliation
  • High family density in the surrounding neighborhood

Things to consider

  • 100% white enrollment with zero diversity — this is not a place where your son will encounter peers from different backgrounds
  • Very small class sizes mean limited social dynamics and few peers for collaboration
  • The safety score (47/100) is below average — worth visiting to assess firsthand
  • At 40 students total, the school may lack typical high school amenities and extracurricular options
  • The religious affiliation (Church of God in Christ) doesn't match the Jewish-sounding name — worth clarifying with the school

Identity

The Schools Tiny Scale And Nearly One-On-One Staffing Suggest A Model Built Around Intensive Individual Support And Close Faculty-Student Relationships. The Religious Affiliation With The Church Of God In Christ Shapes The Schools Character, Though The Name Suggests Otherwise.

An ultra-small all-boys private high school with an extremely low 2:1 student-teacher ratio, serving approximately 10 students per grade across four high school years.

Community

Zero Diversity — The Student Body Is Entirely White And All-Male.

The student body is 100% white with a diversity index of 0 — this is a completely homogeneous student population with no racial or ethnic diversity whatsoever. Every student is male.
