Does anyone send there or know information about it?
What kind of girls go and are they happy?

Seems to be a nice BY-type mix. Everyone I know who sent there seems happy so far. (As DD went to BF, she had quite a few friends who went.)

Are they accepting only Bais Faiga girls?
(Originally that's what they were saying - only Bais Faiga graduates that don't have older sisters in high school already)

Not at all, a good 5 or 10 girls from my daughter's school went last year.
It was a very nice crowd, some girls were even siblings of schools that have very large classes that were looking for more individualized attention.
They were very particular with who they took and most girls knew they were accepted way before official letters came out because they wanted to make sure that they had a class and asked parents to commit.

There definitely were girls from other schools, and also girls whose older sisters were in high school already. Mrs. Epstein told me that though they didn't want to take away from existing schools OTOH, OTOH they also wanted the school to have some older parents as well, not just oldests....

It's a mix. I would say overall comparable to Oros, Shiras Devorah, BY.

Which way is it comparable to those? From what I'm gathering so far those are all more academic and a good fit for a girl that needs higher level learning?

In terms of the overall crowd.

What is the schools exact name, and where are they located?

Anyone knows where they are trying to place themselves on the map of high schools, if we align them from left to right?

Also, is crowd being high or low materialistic pressure?

They are called Machon Mattil Leah. Or just, Machon.

I believe, like BF, they are very center. A mix.
My DD went to BF, so she knows alot of girls who went. Some are simple, some are fancy. Like every school, a mix. Not deliberately low materialistic or high. (much like the elementary school).

I’ve spoken to many current parents and it seems that there is no materialistic pressure.
Yes, academic..

That's great.

(I would also venture to say that that also says alot about those girls. There are girls who feel/gravitate toward materialistic pressure more than others. So you can have a girl in a class who feels no pressure, and another in same class/school who totally does. Can be based on their personality, etc...)

ETA - the fact that it is a newer school may also contribute to this. Right now, there are only 9th graders there. The presence of 10th, 11th, and 12th graders also contributes to the atmosphere in a school, in both positive and negative ways. Pressure might also be a factor when there are older students.

It’s bais faiga’s high school so most students come from bais faiga. The crowd is pretty much bais faiga’s crowd. Which is all over the Lakewood map. As someone who sends to bais faiga I’m curious where you rank it? We still have a few years to go but I hope to send to their hs iyh.

Any newer info ? I guess they have a 9th and 10th now. How is the crowd turning out ? And where is this school located ? Also where does Bais Faiga elementary typically feed into for high school ? Just trying to figure out why a Bais Faiga girl might prefer this option.
