A Small All-Boys Elementary with a Single-Faith Community in Southern Brooklyn

An all-boys elementary school with a 11:1 student-teacher ratio and a single-faith community — this is a small, gender-separated environment with moderate personal attention.
With 170 students across pre-K through 5th grade, this is a small school community. The student body is 100% white with a diversity index of 0 — the lowest possible score — meaning there is no racial or ethnic diversity whatsoever.
Sheepshead Bay-Manhattan Beach-Gerritsen Beach is a southern Brooklyn neighborhood with a more suburban feel, near the water. It has moderate family density (69/100) but scores lower on transit (57/100) and safety (59/100) compared to many other NYC neighborhoods.
This area is car-dependent by NYC standards. Families should expect driving or longer commutes to reach the school, as transit options are limited compared to denser parts of the city.
