[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There used to be a board called UrbanBaby where there was a pretty well-known ranking based on scores, college exmissions, reputation, etc. There were "top-tier" schools (TT), 2T, 3T, etc. The pretty much agreed upon ranking (in order) is: All Girls: TT = Brearley, Spence, Chapin 2T = Convent of the Sacred Heart, Nightingale-Bamford, Marymount 3T = Hewitt All Boys: They don't have the same "TT" ranking because most boys schools are K-8/9. The only TT boys school is Collegiate. Browning is the only other K-12 boys school and it's probably 2T or 3T depending on who you ask. But the rest are ranked as follows: St. Bernard's, St. David's, Buckley, Allen-Stevenson. Co-Ed: TT = Horace Mann, Trinity, Dalton 2T = Riverdale, ECFC 3T = Columbia Grammar Prep (sometimes considered 2T), 4T = Dwight The Brooklyn schools were not usually included in the rankings but they are: Saint Ann's (probably would fit in the TT category), Packer Collegiate, Poly Prep, Berkeley Carroll, Brooklyn Friends. There are a ton of other great schools in NYC but this is a very traditional ranking system that focuses on the uptown/"hill" schools. [/quote] This is right. Signed, Dalton Alum[/quote] I second that. Signed, NBS k-8 Trinity 9-12[/quote] I third that. Another NBS k-8 and Trinity 9-12! I will say that if I had a son, I would aim for St Bernard’s. It’s very old boyish/British but I think it provides a truly great education.[/quote] why do so many girls leave NBS after 8th grade?[/quote] In my year there were only about 5 of us who left while in my grade at Chapin about 15 girls left. It just varies year to year. Leaving after 8th grade in NYC girls schools is common. Lots of girls want a coed hs experience and the girls schools are very stifling after 9 years. Also, many of the families with girls at girls schools are more likely to send kids to boarding schools, it’s family tradition.[/quote]
