[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If I were to raise kids in NYC all over again, I would totally do a good zoned public for elementary school and apply to private for middle. I feel that all the money spent for K-5 in my kids' private schools was probably not necessary. [/quote] Except for Horace Mann, none of the other top privates have an official entry point for middle school. So no, this most likely wouldn’t have worked out well for your family. [/quote] And I believe the few schools that have 6th grade spots have very few. So your odds are bad and your kid is one of very few newbies among kids who have been together for 6 years, which isn’t easy socially. During Covid there were more 6th grade seats as a lot of kids left the city plus there was a ton of demand so I think the privates expanded a bit. Some schools were willing to take any kid with a pulse if they could write the check, when normally they were more competitive.[/quote]
