[quote=Anonymous]I live in NYC. I never made the movie to suburbia.

My city neighborhood is a very family friendly place. I'm older. My offspring are grown, but don't live in NYC anymore. However, many of their childhood friends do, and most of them do anything possible to live in the neighborhood.

Reading these threads, you'd think private schools are obligatory. They aren't. If you choose your neighborhood carefully, your kids can go to a good public school. For example, someone mentioned the UES. PS 6 there is just fine. See https://tools.nycenet.edu/snapshot/2023/02M006/EMS/#SA 
And you'll get some idea of what the parent body is like from the fact that the school's website actually has info on how to transfer to a private school for middle school. https://4.files.edl.io/cb74/09/25/24/172451-39f1e12b-72be-418b-b5bf-5fcfbc217abb.pdf PS 6 isn't unique; there are some good public elementary schools. Middle schools are the weak spot, though there are some good ones. High school admission is truly an arduous process--almost as bad as applying to college. But if you've got kids who are good students and/or test takers, there are some excellent public high schools.[/quote]
