Sorry to hurt your feelings. I live close to the lower school and know the private scene quite well. If you have a slightly stupid jock or a self-serious future Broadway stah who won’t get to higher level math or an unweighted A in humanities courses, I’m sure its great.

Sorry but I really wasn’t thinking about you and I wasn’t even referring to any specific school, not even Packer which I can infer you are referring to but it doesn’t matter anyway. So don’t worry about my feelings, just your own lol. Anywho my comment applies to a general swathe of schools. And no two people will have the same impressions of a school. But my point is when someone labels or brands a school a certain way on places like this, that is the only thing the clueless and uninformed can hang their hat on

It was clearly about poly. It adds value to park slope, idk why that neighbor would attack it. Many high income people would never live there or south Brooklyn without such an esteemed educational option.

No one moves to south Brooklyn for that nothing school.

Why are you so against it? Most youth would be well served going there. What comparable options are there in the area? It puts that area on the map

I don’t believe Poly put Park Slope on the map. Park Slope has been on the map for brownstones and decent public schools for decades. For private schools many neighbors send their kids to Berkeley Carroll or Parker, Saint Ann.

Without those schools and poly, the blockbuster home sales wouldn’t happen. People spending 5mm+ on those brownstones aren’t using the public schools. And they are the ones who make the neighborhood nice

Like I said most of the neighbors we know send their kids to the other private schools, not Poly. Some of us send our kids to schools in the city if we can deal with the commute. But in any case Poly didn’t put PS on the map. People spending 5mm+ have options when it comes to schools, and Poly is certainly not the top option here.

I’m not a Poly hater. It’s a solid T3 school and good for some things, they accepted our child. But it’s laughable to think Poly is what draws families to PS.

Although we own a brownstone I don’t believe we are the ones that make the neighborhood nice. None of our neighbors on the block would say that. What makes the neighborhood nice are the well educated professionals families whose kids mostly go to the neighborhood public schools. They set the tone for the neighborhood, family friendly, low key, not flashy or exclusive.

Your tone is childish and not OK. It is not appropriate for any school. Please stop.

The school is not a delicate human child or puppy. It’s a business catering to a clientele.

Poly is an overrated school that held no interest for us, that we never considered, that produces morons that we know, that had a blackface scandal, and I will post that, because it’s true. No one is insulting you or your kids. I have no idea of anything about Trevor and we haven’t applied there, ever. It’s ok for people to say directly that some of these schools might appear to have a good exmissions page, but are not worthy of tens of thousands per year.

Other people can write whatever the hell they like, ladies. Get a grip.

GCS is a solid school, but also very much a full pay place. They dont have the endowment TTs have. They dont have the college placement of 2Ts like Regis or St Ann's or, if we were adding publics, schools like Bronx Science or Hunter.

I put GCS on the same tier as Beacon and Poly Prep and Berkeley Carroll. I think that's 3T.

And if I wanted to open a can of worms: I'd also put Avenues in this tier. It's a good education with solid college counseling and outcomes. Also pretty much full pay, but it is what it is

If you are going to be very granular and say 2T is just Regis, St. Ann's, and maybe Riverdale, then I would agree that Grace is 3T. Though if also being that granular, I would likely differentiate it from Berkeley Carroll and make that 4T. If you are doing a broader view of 2T then Grace sneaks in.

Agreed that Avenues is an odd duck. Probably agree with you on the tiering. But it draws a different crowd. And I know some people who sent their kid for elementary (particularly those who live downtown for whom it was convenient) and maxed out the language portion then applied out as they felt that that was its primary differentiating factor and the HS was not as good.

Okay, I'll try. I agree that GCS is getting rising in ranks - just 3-4 years ago they'd take anyone who could pay and was tier 4 - but it's not tier 2. I don't have deep insight into all these schools so this is just my take as a person who has two kids in private high schools in nyc, has been through the application process twice as an unhooked family, and follows college placement somewhat. I'm sure there are glaring errors.

(these aren't ranked within tiers)

tier 1
Trinity
Collegiate
Dalton
Spence
Brearley
HM
Chapin

tier 2
St Ann's
Regis
Riverdale
Fieldstone
Marymount
Sacred Heart
Nightingale

tier 3
Loyola
GCS
Packer
Poly
Avenues
Friends Seminary

Tier 4
BFS
BC
Basis
Hewitt
Dwight
Trevor
Calhoun
Hackley
Lycée
UNIS
Xavier/Fordham Prep
Notre Dame/DA/SVF

--

Interesting, this is close to instagram thread post with Ivy+WASP college placements, except Brearley (particularly)/Spence/Chapin are in a league of their own, St Ann's is TT, Fieldston is more around 3T with Friends/Packer. But Fieldston/Friends/Packer place over Poly/GCS

Nice sexism and assuming you’re speaking to ladies. Nice making up a black face scandal, as if that couldn’t happen or be made up at any of these schools. It has incredible exmissions that beat the vast majority of nyc high schools

That wasn’t your point until just now, you moved the goalpost. You went on rants about how it is filled with racist morons. It’s mean and untrue. It may or may not be worth the tuition (people have different goals and incomes), what you said initially is a different matter

Based on their complaints about cost and privilege, their kid probably goes to some quasi-segregated public school with just enough diversity that they feel good about themselves, unlike those racists at a genuinely diverse private

not sure what you are talking about - i was only responding to the poster who again brought up Trevor and how it's not worth the money.

you might be confusing me with another poster.

I misread, apologies. There is someone going off on poly in an unfair way. It’s a great place and most people would be fortunate to attend

I don’t believe Poly put Park Slope on the map. Park Slope has been on the map for brownstones and decent public schools for decades. For private schools many neighbors send their kids to Berkeley Carroll or Parker, Saint Ann.

Without those schools and poly, the blockbuster home sales wouldn’t happen. People spending 5mm+ on those brownstones aren’t using the public schools. And they are the ones who make the neighborhood nice

I'm older so those brownstones were def 2-4 mm in my years with grade school kids, but my friends def did 321 if they were zoned. even when they paid cash for the brownstone. Maybe in the last 10 years it's changed, but I doubt it.

Poly would take kids with LD when BC wouldn't so the lower school was never thought of as "better". it was just accessible to more families.
