Can anyone please let me know how the academic level is at Shaarei Tzion elementary school for girls? I'm considering relocating in the area & would like to know if it's the right fit for my dd. Do you find it to be academically demanding or is it an average level of academic expectation or on the weaker side? Any input would be greatly appreciated.

YST is highly academic. Which is not to say there aren't a range of kids. But, it is rigorous.

My daughter graduated from there recently.

Thank you so much for responding. So did you find the school to pack them with homework & tests every day? And were they helpful if a student was weak in any subject & needed help or were they expected to just keep up?

There is a reasonable amount of homework in the older grades. The younger grades are less. They are into appropriate support for each child. They do want each girl to succeed.

We had a mixed experience (I'm not sending my younger dd there). But you can't fault the education.

You mentioned that you won't send your younger dd there. What other school options are there that is of reasonable distance?
