Close to 300 hundred girls in the Lakewood area are still waiting for an acceptance letter into high school for this coming year. This is in addition to those who applied for elementary school and waiting to be placed. The next round of acceptance letters will go out after shavuos. There is also a severe shortage of space despite a few new high schools that are opening up for this year.
The Satmar community in Lakewood under the leadership of Rav Zalman Leib Teitelbaum will be opening a high school this coming year to accommodate the growth of the kehila.
