Use the School Lookup Tool to find data about New York's Jewish schools in "Jewish Education in New York State 2022–2025" on the Berman Jewish DataBank.

"Jewish Education in New York State 2022–2025" is a groundbreaking study, representing the most comprehensive analysis to date of what students in Hasidic and other Jewish schools are being taught — and what the State of New York has failed to assess.

Despite overseeing an estimated 550 Jewish schools that educate nearly one in eight New York students, the state knows practically nothing about these institutions or how they're meeting the educational needs of their children.

This research begins to fill that gap — documenting, in unprecedented detail, the scope of secular educational deprivation across Hasidic boys' schools. Drawing on interviews with 72 educators, parents, and alumni across 85 Jewish schools — covering 171 grades — the report offers the first detailed accounting of classroom time and subjects taught in Hasidic, Litvish, Sephardic, Modern Orthodox, and Community schools statewide.

A note on curricular data: Absent actual government findings, the availability of curricular data is extremely limited, and it is very hard to make qualitative conclusions about individual schools in a way that is fair, equitable, and accurate. We hope local school authorities will make more data available to the public.
