To be honest, I am hazy on the village boundaries. According to google maps, and the phone book, all 3 worship houses I mentioned are listed as Rye Brook.

If it helps, I was raised in Rye Brook. I attended Catholic school in Port Chester during my primary years and public school afterwards. I liked "the mix" in my neighborhood and made friendships in and out of school that last to this day. It was a great place to grow up and I imagine it still is.

Ekulu-Please don't post erroneous information. Rye Brook is NOT 95% Jewish or even close. I grew up there.
It does have a large Jewish population. Rye Brook as a whole is not 50% Jewish but the percentage of Rye Brook in the Blind Brook school district probably is around 45%-50% Jewish. In terms of what another post has said, I would reiterate that the school district doesn't have many minorities. That said, it does get a fair share of international students.
Unless you have a problem with Jewish people, being of another faith isn't an issue. I had plenty of friends that were of different religions and in general, a disproportionate amount of the top athletes were Italian.
The main problem with Rye Brook is it can be snobby and that it is very insolar. Some parents also exert undue influence and thus, their children tend to be favored in the school district.
In terms of positives, almost 100% of students graduate from high school and over 95% go on to college. A number of people I grew up with have recently moved back there because of the schools.

And there are ton of churches within a five mile radius of Rye Brook. The village of Rye Brook doesn't have any houses of worship that I am aware but Port Chester, Rye, and Greenwich all do.
