This is a novel presentation containing recently compiled and verified demographic and curricular data characteristics of 550 New York State Jewish private schools. It highlights differences in educational approaches and varying degrees of (U.S. federal) educational standard compliance across schools, ranging from completely secular to ultra-orthodox/hasidic. It sheds light on the lack of secular education in large groups of ultra-orthodox schools, highlights individual differences, and proposes future approaches to this body of research and education advocacy.
