A small private high school with a 6.6:1 student-teacher ratio, serving grades 9-12 in South Brooklyn. The school name implies Jewish identity, though its recorded religious affiliation is Church of God in Christ — parents will want to verify this directly.
This is an extremely homogeneous student body — 100% white, with zero representation of Asian, Black, Hispanic, or multiracial students. For families prioritizing diverse peer groups, this is a significant factor. The small scale (730 students across four grades) means a tight-knit, perhaps insular community.
