It is on par with some of the other schools mentioned. Many very successful families choose these schools for a variety of reasons. And top kids at these schools do just as well as kids at TT schools. And often have a happier four years of HS doing so.

Not that I primarily focus on HS.

The top 10% of Trevor is not doing just as well as HM or Dalton.

are the trevor kids less intelligent, driven, motivated? or is it the teaching? or is it all about the parents $$, hooks etc?

Most the intelligence and drive. There is more money at HM and the like but there’s enough at Trevor. The Trevor students just aren’t up to snuff even with large gifts to universities.

Wondering this as well. What happens if an intelligent, driven, motivated kid attends Trevor? Do they not end up in the same place as if they went to HM?

They’ll have a marginally worse outcome. Iron sharpens iron. Being around unintelligent peers weighs down your growth.

what specifically can you shares about Trevor that causes your concerns?

Please don't encourage them. Somehow Trevor made them angry so they have this horrible hatred towards the school. Trevor has its pros and cons. They go overboard on the cons. Top kids there do very well. Overall outcomes don't compare to TT, but a top kid has a very good chance at an Ivy. And will have four less stressful years of HS. One can better argue about the benefits of the lower school program but it is still not as bad as this person makes it out to be.

The top kids don't do that well. A top 10% student at a TT is going to an Ivy or Ivy equivalent. You cannot say that about Trevor, not even close. Regarding stress, it depends. TT students are smarter so they rise to the occasion of more difficult work. Trevor students are dumber, and can struggle to master watered down curricula.

It looks like there are plenty of kids from Trevor going to Ivys and other good schools.

Define "plenty." A handful do. Its matriculation is worse than a good suburban public like Scarsdale, which is free, and certainly worse than the better public high schools in the city like BS or Stuy. The ROI of Trevor's 1mm price tag is........bad

scarsedale has very high property taxes is my understanding. it's not "free" to go there. It is a good school nobody is saying it's not.

BS or Stuy - those are great schools - but you have to get in them first of all. plus you have to want to be around a certain demographics and also be okay with 30 kids per class. some people don't want that.

i'd like to hear their points on Trevor. Hopefully they can make a solid argument for why they don't like it.

Trust me. They can't. And note that I am not president of Trevor's fan club. It isn't perfect. One can constructively say negative things about it. But this clown's visceral hatred of it just destroys all reasonable discussion. It is not OK to feel that kind of childish hatred towards anything (other than maybe Donald Trump and anchovies).

I'm out. Not sure why I am wasting my time.

what is the reason for their hatred of Trevor?

At least with the B parent we know the main reasons they do not like B. we might disagree on whether or not it's systemic there - but at least we have some context and some actual facts about the school.

saying Trevor sucks and ROI isn't good is pretty detailed enough.

Saying a school sucks is detailed? Really? What school did you go to? That is not how I would define critical thinking skills. Perhaps you are the same idiot responding to yourself and just trying to tone things down a little bit?

“A certain demographic” nice use of racism. Trevor is a white flights school for parents of dolts to avoid competition with smart immigrants and POC. It is nothing more than that

It’s matriculation and scores are terrible for the price. Especially when great publics are next door on the UWS and UES. There’s simply no justification for it.

But you don't feel that obsessively passionate about many of its peer (or worse) schools? Just Trevor. Whatever. I think a Trevor girl stole your boyfriend back in the day and you're still bitter. Or a Trevor alum fired you. Or your kid just didn't get in.

Not racism. Just the truth. those schools have lots of immigrants (smart ones!) and is super stressful and competitive. We are Asian. We grew up with immigrant parents. We worked hard (by choice and force). We wouldn't want our kids to have that same experience as us.

And frankly either would our parents. they realized the mistake and the potential toll undo pressure could put on kids.

STUY/BS are amazing schools. It's just not for us. We would most definitely put our kids in Trevor instead of those schools. Now G&T (the old version not the version today) - that was a solid choice for k-8. We did that and were very happy.

what is your attachment to Trevor or the specialized schools (if at all)?

Small class sizes, more interesting curriculum, better lunch, the list goes on and on.

and for many people it's not $1mm. it's $300 to 500k depending on whether they start in MS or HS.

our DD BFF will attend there in HS after doing MS/ES in public. They are happy.

Everyone knows what Dwight and Browning and Columbia are, 3T. There’s shilling and a gross exaggeration of Trevor here that other dumpster fires don’t have.

Everyone knows those schools are pretty bad. At least unis and avenues serve a particular market niche and Columbia has some history behind it. All are 3T

are the trevor kids less intelligent, driven, motivated? or is it the teaching? or is it all about the parents $$, hooks etc?

Most the intelligence and drive. There is more money at HM and the like but there’s enough at Trevor. The Trevor students just aren’t up to snuff even with large gifts to universities.

Wondering this as well. What happens if an intelligent, driven, motivated kid attends Trevor? Do they not end up in the same place as if they went to HM?

They’ll have a marginally worse outcome. Iron sharpens iron. Being around unintelligent peers weighs down your growth.

what specifically can you shares about Trevor that causes your concerns?

Please don't encourage them. Somehow Trevor made them angry so they have this horrible hatred towards the school. Trevor has its pros and cons. They go overboard on the cons. Top kids there do very well. Overall outcomes don't compare to TT, but a top kid has a very good chance at an Ivy. And will have four less stressful years of HS. One can better argue about the benefits of the lower school program but it is still not as bad as this person makes it out to be.

i'd like to hear their points on Trevor. Hopefully they can make a solid argument for why they don't like it.

Trust me. They can't. And note that I am not president of Trevor's fan club. It isn't perfect. One can constructively say negative things about it. But this clown's visceral hatred of it just destroys all reasonable discussion. It is not OK to feel that kind of childish hatred towards anything (other than maybe Donald Trump and anchovies).

I'm out. Not sure why I am wasting my time.

what is the reason for their hatred of Trevor?

At least with the B parent we know the main reasons they do not like B. we might disagree on whether or not it's systemic there - but at least we have some context and some actual facts about the school.

saying Trevor sucks and ROI isn't good is pretty detailed enough.

It’s matriculation and scores are terrible for the price. Especially when great publics are next door on the UWS and UES. There’s simply no justification for it.

But you don't feel that obsessively passionate about many of its peer (or worse) schools? Just Trevor. Whatever. I think a Trevor girl stole your boyfriend back in the day and you're still bitter. Or a Trevor alum fired you. Or your kid just didn't get in.

Everyone knows what Dwight and Browning and Columbia are, 3T. There’s shilling and a gross exaggeration of Trevor here that other dumpster fires don’t have.

what are other 2T schools and what do you consider TT?

CGPS exmissions are better than Trevor i believe. From this year, Trevor has about 35% to elite or T30 type schools. CGPS has almost 50%

It is on par with some of the other schools mentioned. Many very successful families choose these schools for a variety of reasons. And top kids at these schools do just as well as kids at TT schools. And often have a happier four years of HS doing so.

thoughts on other 2T schools or just trevor? CGPS, UNIS, Avenues? etc

Everyone knows those schools are pretty bad. At least unis and avenues serve a particular market niche and Columbia has some history behind it. All are 3T

I would consider them 2T. what history does Columbia have? We agree re unis and avenues - but would consider them at par with Trevor/Columbia

Small class sizes, more interesting curriculum, better lunch, the list goes on and on.

and for many people it's not $1mm. it's $300 to 500k depending on whether they start in MS or HS.

our DD BFF will attend there in HS after doing MS/ES in public. They are happy.

Sorry your daughter is friends with an idiot

She's not a rocket scientist but she's not an idiot.

She's someone who did great in public school but doesn't want to go to a specialized school. Wants to have a nice high school experience. Not shooting for an elite college, a top 50 school would be a great outcome.
