[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]good luck testing into Stuyvessant if you haven't either come from the "right" middle school or the right "cram school" for prep[/quote]

Stuyvesant graduate here...no fancy feeder school or private school. Just regular old PS 189 - and many other like me in our graduating class. We did look at old tests for prep at my public school but that's really it. My niece and nephew are still in NY and they also just went to regular public schools and both are at magnets.

As a DC parent, I am baffled by why we can't just have some magnet schools like that in DC. I know parent input and tutoring skew the balance toward those with means or will.... but  that's life in general with anything competitive. Quality public education in DC is so much luck and chance and charter school pixie dust....oi![/quote]

There are lots of magnets.  Stuyvesant is brutally competitive, even more so than when any adult on this board would be discussing 20-30+ years of earlier admission patterns.  It's not all means.  in many cases it's motivation.[/quote]
