[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]op - school got back to me and suggested Trevor day, lrei, Dwight, basis

You guys - I have worked so hard for so long to afford this school. I never go out - I just work. I trusted them that if they saw him tracking academically in a way where he needed help they would tell me. I asked them flat out so many times- so many times they could have said - you know - he could use a tutor. I’m so angry but also just feel like such an idiot and like I got duped by these people. We are signed up for next year for my 10 and 12 yo and all I want to do is take them both out. It feels like such a freaking racket. Not bc I am expecting him to be someone he’s not. But I shouldn’t be finding out the reality of what they think he can achieve when it’s almost too late to do anything to help him. Like - if a kid is never getting into T1 or T2 then say - hey this kid really needs some extra help and say it early! Jfc [/quote]

Tell them you are all in on Trevor. It is a very good school and has been really upping its game. And from a few data points I know, they seem to like kids who really want to be there. It is a good school with good outcomes. If your kid is as smart as you think, they will finish at the top of the class at Trevor. The top kids at Trevor do as well as the top kid at any school in NY - plenty of Ivies and the like. It is further down the list where things are worse - the 75% kid at Trevor is significantly worse than the 75% kid at a TT.

Same applies for some of the others but I think Trevor is the best of the batch. I know several families who are very happy there, including a few who turned down better "names" to go there.

BTW, same largely applies to Grace, Packer and a few others like that.[/quote]
