Also maybe reread my post. I specified BY and TA. |
Exactly this. Parents who want their kids to go to the other schools don’t apply to TI. And now we have so many more boys options. The only school here that’s actually selective is the chassidish one, and even their gan opened up for everyone.

Bais Yaakov is a community school (as is TA, actually). They don't set standards as to who is on the right level or derech in order to be enrolled. Students from all types of backgrounds are welcome.
I grew up in Baltimore as an FFB, btw. Yeshivish background. There was no such thing as yeshivish kids not wanting to be friends with non yeshivish kids or not being allowed to play at their homes. Sure, maybe we didn't eat at everyone's house or their parents knew to ask if it was ok to put on a video when we were little, but absolutely we could and were friends despite having different types of homes.
.
ETA and I grew up on one of the streets mentioned on this thread as being yeshivish and to the right, lol. Won't say which one! |
I’ve been living in Lakewood now for many years, but I did too and I’m sure I would know you😉

thank you so much for these great responses!! im a little lost now so many different answers and opinions ah!
I also don't know the boundaries of the different areas people are suggesting... can someone help with that or maybe post house listings? my kids are all under 5 so I'm not super worried about schools since if it doesn't work, I am willing to move after a few years. but DH and I just want to try a new frum area since we have lived in the same place for so long. BH we don't have to worry too much about the cost of the house, more concerned about the avirah for us as a couple

I recommend you call up one of the frum realtors in Baltimore and ask them to explain the neighborhoods and boundaries and for some house postings.

https://dassilazar.com/ Would probably be able to explain the yeshivishness or lack of thereoff of the neighborhoods to you.
I live in Ranchleigh and it’s a mix. I love it!
I’m from NY, many of my relatives are super yeshivish, and it’s a more mixed and relaxed area here. Most of my relatives don’t have smartphones. I’ve only encountered a handful of my kids’ classmates’ moms here who don’t have smartphones.

Some frum realtors: Dassi Lazar, Shevy Rosendorff Ashman, Debbie Finkelstein, Joe Bondar, Rephael Szendro---are just a few
I live in the Upper park heights area. I love it here. It's more low key and heimish. Mix of yeshivish, BT, Chasidish, Lubavitch, modern and JPF. I can think of almost a dozen shuls within a 1/2 mile radius each with a different style and flavor.
A mix on smart phones and not. I know a few that don't even own a cell phone nor internet at all.
I think you need to come here for a shabbos or 2 and get a feel of the community. And it really is a community.

[quote="[url=https://www.imamother.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=6736459#6736459][b][color=black]amother Clear]Tuition is also higher than in town, I think it’s about $10,000/child with boys schools charging more than girls schools.[/quote]
Just wanted to point out that boys’ schools START at around $10k. In other words, for kindergarten. But by middle school you’d be paying more like $15k.

At least half of the parents in BY, Bnos, TA, TI are on scholarship assistance. I pay no where close to $10K per kid. And we have a 6 figure income.

Probably depends on which schools your kids go to. My boys go to TI and someone wanted to start a class whatsapp chat (I have a very filtered smartphone with whatsapp) but there weren't enough parents with smartphones. Same for my carpools, we mostly use groupme because many people can't even do group texts on their phones.
My girls are in Bais Yaakov and I would say it's about half and half, in their classes. But I am pretty sure that even most of those are tagged or filtered.
I'm also from NY originally. We are so happy here b"H!
