[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Of the top NYC schools, how would folks compare them in terms of overall workload in high school?  Are some schools known for being much harder or easier than the others?[/quote]

Trinity grad w/ kid in dalton here. Mom went to spence. No one can give you a true comparison since most people only have a true experience with one school or the other. They’ll rely on secondhand info and caricature and say things like dalton is artsy and less challenging than trinity, etc. The truth is they’re all hard, they’re all pressure cookers, and they’re all probably more similar than they are different. The trinity workload in high school was pretty absurd in my experience. But my friends who went to dalton and spence and collegiate and brearley all had similar stress. It’s really simple: if you want to go to a good school after graduation, you’re going to have to put in the hours. For most people, that’s going to be 3-5 hours a night of homework. The good news: handling college work was significantly easier for us than others. The bad news: the high school experience isn’t nearly as fun as some other kids’.[/quote]
