[quote=Anonymous]Hello! I have a potential job offer on the table, based in NYC. My husband's company is based there, and he takes the train up from DC a few times a month. I would be able to do the same. OR we can actually move up there. Both offices are in midtown.

The plan could be to rent in NYC (thinking $6k/$9k month all in), but it's the school situation that make me pause. We have an 11 year old and a 7 year old, so finishing 5th and 2nd grade.

I think I'd prefer public schools or charter options over private schools, at least for now. Could change my mind for high schools. Oldest is at BASIS, which is fairly rigorous, and little one is at a bilingual Montessori. Should we just be looking at the Upper East/West side in this case? What other neighborhoods should we be exploring if school is the priority for a move?

Not opposed to Brooklyn or Queens. The North Bronx would be a bit of a hike, but could consider it.

Would welcome any thoughts or even places to look up school rankings. I find the ones for DC aren't really that accurate - is that also the case for NYC?[/quote]
