To be frank, if you look beyond the Top Tier schools (Horace Mann, Chapin, Riverdale, Collegiate, Dalton, Brearley, Trinity, Spence) the Second Tier schools like Browning and Friends are only one notch below those top schools and gaining admission is not that difficult as long as your child has a B average. I will say Friends will be more difficult than Browning.   [/quote]

In my opinion, the ranking doesn't mean anything unless you have a child with the aptitude and desire. [/quote]

💯 families must find the right educational partner!  I really do feel all NYC private schools are quite good.  I just think the perception that they are very difficult to get into really only applies to those top tier schools.

Our family has experienced both and there is a difference in the teacher retention and the seriousness of the student body.  There are plenty of kids at top tier schools that have been there since kindergarten and don’t take their classes seriously but for the most part kids at top tier schools are more disciplined and the students they add at 6th, 7th and 9th are academic superstars that elevate the learning environment.  The second tier schools need to meet their numbers so the class makeup isn’t always as desirable.   Still very good, however, and many kids won’t excel in a more academic setting![/quote]
