[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]D2 is not losing to Catholic parochial schools...there are so few left. Multiple have closed in the last 5 years alone. There are only a few left south of 96th Street. St. Joe's on UES, St. Stephen's on UES, Blessed Sacrament (UWS), Transfiguration (Chinatown) and Epiphany (Gramercy). That's it, I think? And there aren't a lot of high schools either, in the grand scheme of things. Anecdotally, those numbers seem right for public vs private in my neighborhood in D2 at least. We've sent our child to public school, and then pulled them and put them in private school. We know a ton of people who did the same thing over the course of elementary school.[/quote]

Thanks.

But if you just count D2 and D3 that's still 8000 kids attending private middle school, or 2600 per grade, which is still like 30-35 schools' worth; admittedly, those are the richest parts of NYC and the most likely to send their kids to private school, but nevertheless it's not like *every* kid at HM or Trinity lives in the UES/UWS, so it suggests that an awful lot of kids are attending private schools outside of the small set people talk about here.[/quote]
