Anyone have any info on Bais/Bnos Bracha girls elementary school in Lakewood? I'm curious to know what type of people send there (hashkafa, level of frumkeit, background, etc.) as well as how they measure up academically. Any and all info will be appreciated.

Bnos Bracha is run by Mrs. Murak. She herself is very very into tznius and how the mother dresses. The big if is that if you promise to follow her rules then she trusts you so her crowd is not the type that dresses so tznius. Of course to school functions they do but out of school it's a different story. She attracts more of an out of town type of crowd. Her education is pretty good. She stresses ivrit and teaches tons of hebrew songs. The problem with her school is that there is no board it is all her say so if she saids something it goes and you can't argue with her even though you are the parent and you think you know your child better, it's her word.

What else do you want to know?

amother - I'm just trying to sort things out - are the parents more modern, or just not super-yeshivish (iow are the fathers working and therefore they're considered more modern?) Are the mothers dressing untznius, or just more trendy? How is the secular education? What type of crowd do they purportedly cater to, and what kind of crowd do they actually attract.

Also, are you a parent in the school?

The crowd is not a modern crowd, it's not flatbush type of couples mingling together and going out to eat together type of crowd. A lot of the parents are more with it and trendy type, there is nothing wrong with that. Most of the fathers do work, Mrs. Murak doesn't care what the father does as long as the mother is dressed tznius so that is why she gets this crowd, and the mother just lies and dresses differently in front of her. Mrs. Murak doesn't care if father's wear colored shirts so that's also why she gets more of the working crowd. The education is a pretty good education she is on top of the students. I wouldn't say it has the best education from all of the Lakewood girl's schools but it is up there in a good education.
Right now she is busting out of her building they desperately need money to build a building.

Anybody else has any info on this school? Are the parents just working or well-off, do they watch movies or show videos to their kids?
Also, what's their tuition?
