[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There used to be a board called UrbanBaby where there was a pretty well-known ranking based on scores, college exmissions, reputation, etc. There were "top-tier" schools (TT), 2T, 3T, etc. The pretty much agreed upon ranking (in order) is: All Girls: TT = Brearley, Spence, Chapin 2T = Convent of the Sacred Heart, Nightingale-Bamford, Marymount 3T = Hewitt All Boys: They don't have the same "TT" ranking because most boys schools are K-8/9. The only TT boys school is Collegiate. Browning is the only other K-12 boys school and it's probably 2T or 3T depending on who you ask. But the rest are ranked as follows: St. Bernard's, St. David's, Buckley, Allen-Stevenson. Co-Ed: TT = Horace Mann, Trinity, Dalton 2T = Riverdale, ECFC 3T = Columbia Grammar Prep (sometimes considered 2T), 4T = Dwight The Brooklyn schools were not usually included in the rankings but they are: Saint Ann's (probably would fit in the TT category), Packer Collegiate, Poly Prep, Berkeley Carroll, Brooklyn Friends. There are a ton of other great schools in NYC but this is a very traditional ranking system that focuses on the uptown/"hill" schools. [/quote] This is right. Signed, Dalton Alum[/quote] I second that. Signed, NBS k-8 Trinity 9-12[/quote] I third that. Another NBS k-8 and Trinity 9-12! I will say that if I had a son, I would aim for St Bernard’s. It’s very old boyish/British but I think it provides a truly great education.[/quote] Could you speak more about St Bernard's? I am starting to consider it for DS.[/quote]
