I have a very negative view of the school and the academics there. There’s more to life than exmissions and the lifers who are now adult and the children I know there are not academic, not particularly bright, not community minded at all.[/quote]

A lot of reputation and cache starts as unfounded folklore on social media and website like this and just kind of catches on because people “read about it”. So a lot of hidden gems get missed and conversely other schools have overinflated and hyped up expectations [/quote]

Sorry to hurt your feelings. I live close to the lower school and know the private scene quite well. If you have a slightly stupid jock or a self-serious future Broadway stah who won’t get to higher level math or an unweighted A in humanities courses, I’m sure its great.[/quote]

Sorry but I really wasn’t thinking about you and I wasn’t even referring to any specific school, not even Packer which I can infer you are referring to but it doesn’t matter anyway. So don’t worry about my feelings, just your own lol. Anywho my comment applies to a general swathe of schools. And no two people will have the same impressions of a school. But my point is when someone labels or brands a school a certain way on places like this, that is the only thing the clueless and uninformed can hang their hat on [/quote]

It was clearly about poly. It adds value to park slope, idk why that neighbor would attack it. Many high income people would never live there or south Brooklyn without such an esteemed educational option. [/quote]
No one moves to south Brooklyn for that nothing school.[/quote]

Why are you so against it? Most youth would be well served going there. What comparable options are there in the area? It puts that area on the map [/quote]

I don’t believe Poly put Park Slope on the map. Park Slope has been on the map for brownstones and decent public schools for decades. For private schools many neighbors send their kids to Berkeley Carroll or Parker, Saint Ann. [/quote]

Without those schools and poly, the blockbuster home sales wouldn’t happen. People spending 5mm+ on those brownstones aren’t using the public schools. And they are the ones who make the neighborhood nice [/quote]

I'm older so those brownstones were def 2-4 mm in my years with grade school kids, but my friends def did 321 if they were zoned.  even when they paid cash for the brownstone.  Maybe in the last 10 years it's changed, but I doubt it.

Poly would take kids with LD when BC wouldn't so the lower school was never thought of as "better". it was just accessible to more families. [/quote]

BC’s exmissions are way worse than poly[/quote]

Why is this the only thing people care about? Exmissions results can change year to year.  I also don’t understand why a handful of less than optimal results has to tarnish a schools reputation.  Yes, some kids will go to CUNYs or SUNYs or the Elon’s of the world and maybe they’re doing it because it’s the right fit or that’s where they’re getting the most money. Clearly the good students can get into good colleges of any of these places, including the 3T and 4T.  [/quote]

Exmissions aren’t the point. The point is that poster said Poly has way more neurodivergent students and BC was more competitive to get into. Both are far from the reality and the exmissions reflect that [/quote]

I’m the “Poly hater” and didn’t write that. I like how upset you are. Now go to the racist student population and parents. Or just crybaby to Jeff, per your uzh.

The biggest whiners on the planet. It’s crazy. [/quote]

“Poly would take kids with LD when BC wouldn't so the lower school was never thought of as "better".” That was you, and very few would think of BC as better academically. Next time, don’t describe a school’s students as “morons.” What’s the average SAT or exmission at your kid’s school? And name one private school with decent academics and a hefty price tag that couldn’t conceivably have an un-PC scandal (you haven’t provided a link to it, no one believes poly students are burning crosses in black face like you say)   [/quote]

Literally not me. Since you are such a complainer please feel free to scream to the moderators.
