[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Edlin:  NO NO and NO.  We were accepted along with friends' kids but fortunately went elsewhere.  Friends got mired into a huge mess during a war between the two heads of the schools.  They yanked their kids out and placed them in public school on emergency basis.  Lawyer for Edlin called to insist they pay for remaining tuition - they said they would counter for educational malpractice. End of discussion.  It is NOT what it pretends to be.  Look closely.  Ask questions.  Sit in a class (I did - kids looked bored to death - didn't ask questions - clearly didn't want to be there).  Nysmith also has a dubious reputation. [/quote]

OP, the view copied above does have some adherents and, IMPO, some validity.  We are familiar with several different cases involving actual or attempted transfers that have blown into threatened litigation, one involving pre-paid tuition that was not refunded.  In all of these cases, parents had observed real, substantive deficiencies in the schools in question.  I would also suggest that it might be a real mistake not to take a serious look at your local public schools, which we found to be roughly a year advanced vs. even some of the better-regarded privates.  Good luck --
