Okay I didn’t realize this thread was on again but I want to clarify a few points. I know the supposedly “chassidish” school VERY well and no, you can’t say the whole school is chassidish or any type but majority is one type and if you aren’t that type it may be difficult to fit in. There are tons of litvaks and sefardim. It is not just small, it is TINY as in 9 girls or something like that in the 9th grade.
I also want to say that BYLA is not just “Rabbi Bursyn Pressures”-I don’t understand how anyone can say that? If you go to BYLA you are agreeing to follow certain standards that most BYs around the world would have and most BYs are even more yeshivish because LA doesn’t have that many people like NY does to make it so specific. I will say that usually there are different crowds of girls in every grade like the yeshivish, not so yeshivish, etc but there are very fine girls there and girls who are being worked on. Also, the cheder and Toras Emes elementary schools don’t have a high school, they are separate schools but majority of the girls continue on to those schools.
From what I’ve seen and heard Bnos Devorah was supposed to be in between BYLA and YULA but I think that its more like VTC right now.
