These rankings recently were announced by Niche, the largest website for research and reporting of K-12 schools.

Rochelle Zell Jewish High School earned this ranking through its high scores in a variety of areas including SAT/ACT scores, student-teacher ratio, the quality of colleges students consider and where students actually are accepted, as well as reviews from students and parents.

The school provides an open intellectual and religious environment in which questions, critical thinking, experiences, and relationships are nourished and fostered throughout Jewish and secular general studies. The fullness of Jewish life and learning are embraced, and Jews from across the denominational spectrum are welcomed.
