Yeshivas Be'er Yitzchok
Elizabeth, New Jersey · Private Nonprofit · 86.2% acceptance rate
ROI Score: 63/100 · Fair Value
Data: 2024-25 College Scorecard release
Yeshivas Be'er Yitzchok is a small Orthodox Jewish rabbinical yeshiva in Elizabeth, New Jersey, enrolling 90 students and earning an overall ROI score of 63 - Fair Value. This score requires careful interpretation, as two sub-scores (debt-to-earnings and repayment rate) are imputed rather than directly measured. The institution's actual data presents a sharply bifurcated picture: a 5.3-year payback period and an earnings premium score of 83 are standout positives, while a 14% completion rate scores only 2 out of 100 - by far the weakest sub-score. The 14% completion rate reflects the reality that most students at this institution are not pursuing four-year secular degrees in the traditional sense; they are engaged in full-time religious study (learning in kollel or rabbinic ordination pathways) that is not captured as degree completion by federal measures. Sticker tuition of $11,450 stands in notable contrast to the net price of $28,599 - meaning the total cost of attendance, including room, board, and living expenses, substantially exceeds tuition. Ten-year median earnings of $82,560 are strong for the institution's scale and mission, likely reflecting the urban New Jersey professional labor market accessed by those graduates who enter secular employment. Six-year average earnings are not reported. The only program with Scorecard data is Religion/Religious Studies: 21 graduates with four-year median earnings of $98,832 and first-year median earnings of $61,244. Debt data for this program is not reported.

The Full Financial Picture
The first number you'll see is the sticker price: $11,450/year, which covers tuition and fees only. The net price counts books, supplies, and average living costs on top of tuition and fees, then subtracts grants and scholarships. For the average student here it comes to $28,599/year, or roughly $114,396 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 $27,764/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.

Cost by Income Bracket Explained
Lower-income families (under $30K)
Low-income students (families under $30,000) face a net price of $27,764 annually - a substantial figure given the $11,450 tuition, reflecting significant room, board, and living costs. Pell Grants represent a major funding source: 54% of students receive them. Students in this income band must model their total annual cost carefully, including non-tuition expenses, and explore all available institutional and federal grant resources to minimize borrowing against imputed debt levels.
Middle-income families ($30K-$110K)
Net price data for the $30,001 - $75,000 income bands is not reported, limiting analysis for middle-income families. Based on the available data points ($27,764 at under $30,000 and $30,270 at $75,001 - $110,000), the pricing appears relatively flat across income bands - consistent with limited means-based institutional grant differentiation. Prospective middle-income families should contact the institution directly for individualized aid estimates.
Higher-income families ($110K+)
Students from families earning $75,001 - $110,000 pay approximately $30,270 annually. The absence of data for the highest income band makes comparisons incomplete. At the mid-range figure, the estimated four-year total approaches $121,000. Given the institution's specific religious mission and the strong ten-year earnings figure of $82,560, higher-income families whose sons are committed to this learning environment can view the investment as financing both religious formation and professional preparation - provided realistic expectations about the vocational outcomes of rabbinic study are maintained.
