You mean Bais Yaakov of Passaic.
(Yeshiva Ktana is the elementary school)

I live in Passaic, grew up in lkwd for reference. It’s a main stream BY system with mainstream rules (no smart phones) there is another Girls HS so anyone who wants more freedom can go there.. otherwise reminds me of a lkwd school with slightly less pressures

Passaic has two high schools for girls- BY and Machon Ora which is also a BY. Oros is in Lakewood.

Breurs of monsey (BY Drav Hirsch) is phenomenal. I think they had a few rough years at one point when they had 2 classes per grade but theyre back to one class per grade and the school is thriving. Very warm and friendly, genuinely sweet achdusdik girls as a whole. Ive heard more than one person describe it as a BY for out of town-y type girls. Fantastic principals.

BYR is a small school, it's like a family. The hanhala is super Frum, the families are Balabatish, working class.

I don't think you mean working class.

I meant not learning or having a shteller. Middle class, working parents.

working class generally means lower-middle class people who work in jobs that generally don't require college degrees, like factory workers, tradespeople etc.
and the relatives I have who send there are wonderful people who are are very frum and Torahdik and could be called balebatish but definitely not working or even middle class. Their neighborhood in Wesley is not a middle class neighborhood, and I assume many other students in the school have similar homes/lifestyles..
