I had a very disappointing experience with the school principal. The principal’s communication style was disrespectful, aggressive, and unnecessarily confrontational.It felt that there may be personal bias influencing decisions regarding my child, which is very concerning.

Posted by a parent on 3/30/2026My son is in the 10th grade now. Im very dissapointed in the school. Teachers dont teach, most staff are very angry people, according to my son. The principal is extremely rude and dont show any respect. She sets the tone for her staff. She needs to be replaced.

Posted by a community member on 9/7/20220/10. Many girls are coming forward with their allegations to being assaulted. This school has been deleting comments about it on their Instagram page. The principal wants the school to look good so they do nothing about these issues.

8/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThis is the worst school I've seen. A teacher in the first grade drove my son almost to a nervous breakdown, and then the school recognized him as a developmental lagging behind. The school staff tricked me into signing the documents and transferred the child to a special class. Despite the fact that 6 months before that, he was one of the best in the Russian school. And now the school is trying to recognize the child as mentally retarded to hide the school's mistakes.Parent Review7mo ago - Yeshiva Ahavas Torah

NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageAbsolutely love this school! Have 3 boys there and couldn't imagine sending them any where else. The teachers, rebbeim and administration are all warm and caring. The education is great! Being a part of this school is more like being part of a family. It has a very normative parent body , which is also a plus. The kids who come out of this yeshiva are all well-rounded and have impeccable middos that stand out!Parent Review5y ago - Aka-East Flatbush Religious School for Girls

NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageAs a former student, I know this school expels students when their families are unable to pay tuition due to financial hardship. Several students in my class, myself included, were barred from attending classes until money was collected. Many families had to ask friends and people in their shul to help their daughters attend school. I was told to complete a promissory note if I wanted to attend school again. This is an embarrassment to the community and it seems that the administration has forgotten the basic tenets of Judaism.Student Review12y ago - Yeshiva Derech Hatorah

NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThe student couldn’t understand the teacher and his accent didn’t help and they threatened to withhold his diploma because he didn’t want to show up to a non mandatory after school activity for singing in front of parents and he didn’t feel comfortable to be on stage and felt scared and the principal didn’t even ask why he didn’t want to go and the thing is I would tell him to go but it was on a Sunday really the only day he had off and it wasn’t even in the school and the principal stared at him when he was saying that he was going to withhold the diplomas from any one who didn’t show up in front of all his classmates and friends I think that is very disrespectful as a adults point of view it’s outrageous to embarrass him like that by staring at himOther Review1y ago - Nefesh Academy
