I don’t think there is one because no Brooklyn school has such a big mix.

When I was a student there (about 15 years ago) we always aligned ourselves mostly with prospect.

Nowadays I think prospect is much further to the left
TAG is much more bais yaakov style
I don't either think there's a good equivalent. Maybe shevach in Queens

I agree that Shevach even more so, but OP asked abt bkln schools so I went with my closest match!

Ooc what makes prospect ‘much further to the left’? I’m an alum (x many years) and it certainly didn’t feel that way then so I’m curious what changed

A lot changed. I’m also a graduate and I work there now. The parent body is much more to the left now then it was 20 years ago

I went to prospect 20 yrs ago. Tag is very similar to what it was back then. A very nice mix of girls yeshivish, mainstream, more modern. The school is definitely a bais yaakov hashkafa.

With Shulamith bk falling apart and never really getting it together, and a parent body there that's more lwmo and barely religious, families that would have sent there 20 years ago are now sending to prospect. Also with lev getting very popular and masores always hard to get into, ppy is the only option for families that didn't get in at those schools.

I also have very frum friends that sent there, it's still a mix, more in the older grades. It's noticeable enough that my rebbetizin who sent all her girls there there pulled out her youngest kids about 7 yrs ago to move them to lev.

I think u find a lot of the same stuff at all these schools, and any of them are fine options, just that there maybe a bit more if it in ppy.

Nothing. Prospect is very much to the right.

Tag is a big mix but is trying to narrow things a little more. They are a bais yaakov hashkafa with families ranging from chinuch families to more five towns type. Although they are getting stricter on who they accept.

I have daughters that already graduated high school and a daughter in tag pre school. The school became very much to the right in the past 5-10 years. I am an alumnus of Ppy which back in the day was probably similar to tag ten years ago but right now tag is more beis yakov and prospect is closer to Shulamis type of girls but the teachers haven’t changed.
