[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Agree with all of this. And even the essay schools have their pros and cons. We loved NEST but it is remote (not the end of the world). Bard is great for artsy humanities kids - a kid who would excel at a traditional private school probably wouldn't be happy there so it isn't a binary choice (though there are obviously less traditional private schools).[/quote]

Bard has a level of connection to Jeffrey Epstein that would make even Dalton blush, so until they clean house I would stay far away from them.

Personally, I have a 7th grader and a 5th grader; I feel pretty good about the 7th grader's choices since they'd have a strong chance at 4 out of 6 LaGuardia studios along with the SHSAT schools, but if the 5th grader has a bad lottery number and screws up their SHSAT, I'm going to be on the fence whether to send them to a lower-tier private school (they're extremely bright but lack the polish to get into a TT/2T as a high schooler) or do a split-household thing with the older kid in the city and the younger kid in the suburbs for two years.[/quote]
