Larchmont jewish population (New Rochelle, Mamaroneck: broker, neighborhood, school district)

[brooklyngal123]

Is there an adequate Jewish population in Larchmont. Not looking for an all Jewish burb but also wouldn't want my daughter only Jewish child in her class. Thanks

I know plenty of Jewish people in Larchmont.

[BD1978]

It's at least 20 to 30% of the population - zero chance that your daughter will be the only Jewish child in her class. It's not an overwhelmingly Jewish town by any means, but there are lots of Jewish families and many interfaith couples as well.

[brooklyngal123]

Thanks. Last question I have is whether it seems like a significant percent of the town sends their kids to private school.

[streetsmart]

No, not at all. You will notice a French ex-pat population because FASNY is in Larchmont, but otherwise the majority of kids attend the public schools.

Thanks. While I mostly hear amazing things about school a broker from another town told me most people in Larchmont go to private which is not what I am looking for!

[car_hill89]

That broker may have been thinking of the area of New Rochelle that is adjacent to Larchmont. It's known as Larchmont Woods and many people there send their kids to private school. The public schools that serve Larchmont are excellent, far better than the New Rochelle schools.

[BD1978]

Yes, the "Larchmont Woods" neighborhood of New Rochelle is decidedly NOT in Larchmont or the Mamaroneck/Larchmont school district.

It isn't a Jewish town, but you are guaranteed to have other Jewish kids in school.

[BrokerHeather]

Yes! This is a vibrant diverse town. I can tell you all about the schools and give you more information on the town.
