[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]20:45 I know about St. Ann's, but it's very different from Dalton. (Lena Dunham went to St. Ann's.) No grades for instance. There's also the Friends school. Not sure what else. I know many Brooklynites who send their children to privates in Manhattan, so that's not one of this couple's questionable choices. (I knew someone who commuted to the U.N. school from Scarsdale!) [/quote]

20:45 here, yeah, I lived in the city, had friends who went to Dalton, St. Ann's, etc.  FWIW, there are a lot of other privates in Brooklyn.  Many parents, across the boroughs, pay for privates from K-8 and have their kids cram like hell to get into Bronx Science, Dewey, LaGuardia Music and Arts, Stuyvesant, etc. for high school.  When we were applying to privates for K for our first DC, I told DH that I would not apply anywhere with a commute of more than 20-30 minutes TOPs in rush hour.  Knew too many folks who felt that long commutes in HS had an adverse affect on their experiences, would've been wiling to trade less prestige for an opportunity to have friends in close proximity.
