Baltimore Jewish Day Schools

Various studies reference the success of Jewish day school graduates in college.

A PEJE Day School Fact Sheet states as follows:

A 2007 study of day school alumni in college found that they excel academically no less

than private and public school alumni (using grade point averages as the basis of

comparison).

Graduates of day school choose their majors in roughly the same diversity as graduates of

private and public schools. They also pursue terminal degrees at about the same rate as

other students.

College students with any amount of day school education tend to be more involved with

political and social action groups than those without. They participate in athletics, the

performing arts, student government, and student media at roughly the same rates as

those without a day school background, are much more likely to be active in Hillel, and

are less likely to join fraternities and sororities.
