About This School
Congregation Talmidei Mesivta Tiferes Shmiel Aleksander is a private nonprofit institution located in Brooklyn, New York with approximately 169 undergraduate students enrolled. The average net price after financial aid is $8,602 per year. The graduation rate is 12%.
The numbers tell a mixed story here: the 96% freshman retention rate suggests students who enroll feel at home and stay, and the $8,602 average net price is genuinely affordable for a private institution. However, the 12% graduation rate is a serious red flag — only about 1 in 8 students earns a degree, which raises real questions about program completion and long-term value. This school may suit a specific religious community's needs, but any student or family prioritizing a credential should ask hard questions about what's driving that low graduation figure before enrolling.
