Yeshiva Gedolah Imrei Yosef D'spinka
Brooklyn, New York · Private Nonprofit
ROI Score: 22/100 · Below Benchmark
Data: 2024-25 College Scorecard release
Yeshiva Gedolah Imrei Yosef D'Spinka scores 22 (Below Benchmark) on the CampusROI scale. This is a small Orthodox Jewish yeshiva in Brooklyn, NY, with 226 enrolled students. The institution provides religious education; the CampusROI metrics, which are calibrated to labor market outcomes, do not capture the institution's primary purpose. With that caveat stated clearly, the data shows: sticker tuition of $12,500, net price of $5,646, and a payback period of 105.2 years - the last figure reflecting average 6-year earnings of $24,100 that barely exceed baseline labor market wages. The completion rate of 21.6% is extremely low and is the dominant drag on the ROI score. The sole reported program, Religion/Religious Studies, earns $14,771 year-one and $17,806 year-four. Median debt is not reported, so our debt-to-earnings measure gets a neutral middle score of 50; graduates likely carry little federal student loan debt, likely due to the very low sticker tuition and strong Pell grant coverage. The Pell grant rate of 91.7% indicates nearly all students qualify for federal need-based aid. Repayment rate is imputed, not measured. The admissions rate is not reported. The ROI framework rates this institution as Below Benchmark because of the earnings and completion outcomes, not because of institutional quality in its own mission context.
How Yeshiva Gedolah Imrei Yosef D'spinka scores under our methodology
These are the College Scorecard measures that pull this school's CampusROI score down. They describe the published figures, not the quality of the education, and they are our reading of the data. Check them against your own aid offer and intended major.
- ROI Score22/100 - Below Benchmark tier of our scale (below 45). For context, 38% of the schools we score reach 60 or higher.
- 6-year graduation rate21.6% - The national average for four-year schools is 64% (NCES, 2022). Completion is 15% of our score, since a degree that is not finished rarely pays back.
- Payback period>50 years - In our estimate, the earnings premium over a high school completer is small next to the cost, so the cost may not be recouped within a working career.

The Full Financial Picture
The first number you'll see is the sticker price: $12,500/year, which covers tuition and fees only. After grants, scholarships, and aid, the average student here pays a net price of $5,646/year, or roughly $22,584 over four years. That's the number to plan around.
What you actually pay depends a lot on what your family earns. Families making under $30,000/year pay an average of $5,174/year here, while families earning over $110,000 pay N/A/year.
The Department of Education does not report a median debt figure for this school, usually because too few students borrow federal loans for the figure to be published. Our ROI score gives this measure a neutral middle value rather than treating it as zero debt.
Net Price by Family Income
What families actually pay after grants and scholarships, by income bracket.
| Family Income | Avg Net Price/Year |
|---|---|
| $0 - $30,000 | $5,174 |
| $30,001 - $48,000 | $6,923 |
| $48,001 - $75,000 | $7,144 |

Cost by Income Bracket Explained
Lower-income families (under $30K)
The 0-30000 bracket pays $5,174 per year - very low, reflecting Pell grants and institutional aid covering nearly all of the $12,500 sticker. Four years at $5,174 totals $20,696. Against $14,771 year-one earnings, even this low cost produces a challenging financial position. However, the low total cost and zero measurable debt load mean financial risk is contained. Students in this bracket are not taking on unsustainable debt for a religious education credential.
Middle-income families ($30K-$110K)
The 48001-75000 bracket pays $7,144 per year. The 75001-110000 and 110001-plus brackets are null - not reported in the Scorecard. At $7,144 annually ($28,576 over four years), the nominal cost is low by any standard. Middle-income families considering this institution are paying for religious community and education at a modest dollar figure. The labor market case is not the relevant frame.
Higher-income families ($110K+)
Net price data for the 75001-110000 and 110001-plus brackets is not reported. The institution's total cost structure - $12,500 sticker, $5,646 average net price - implies that even higher-income families pay a relatively modest amount.
