[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP - i ended up using Researcher in Copilot to interrogate my kids unprepped ISEE scores, look at independent schools across NYC, look at public schools across NYC and westchester publics and tell me which ones were most likely and which ones offered lowest and highest ROI. It basically said - Avenues, LREI, Trevor Day, Grace Church and even fieldston have the worst ROI (money spent for exmissions quality and innovative future focused curriculum), the westchester publics have the highest, that of the independents and publics that my child could realistically reach for, riverdale, xavier, bard and beacon were the top. Basically it told me to move to westchester. Which I may take it up on. [/quote]

Garbage in, garbage out. How does one measure "innovative future focused curriculum?" And moving to the burbs is a lifestyle choice - doing it for schools (especially if your kid is pretty far along) is a horrible decision.[/quote]

Can you explain why? Top suburbs might offer better outcomes for $0 in tuition. However prices for homes in those suburbs have gotten pretty out of hand. Most upscale houses seem to go for at least high $2m's. When factoring in current mortgage rates and high property taxes it may actually be more economical to pay for tuition at a NYC private.
