[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In the middle of the school application process for K.  Looking at St. Bs, Dalton, Trinity, Town, Riverdale and Hunter.

We have no hooks/connections and won’t need FA.

Looking for rigorous academics that help kids develop their minds/interests and good exmissions for the K-8 schools or good college placement for the K-12 schools. Also would like a school where a well adjusted, confident kid can stay well adjusted and confident and make some lifelong friends.

I know these are all excellent schools and all are very difficult to get into, but if you got into all of them and ignored the benefit of free tuition from Hunter—i.e., just considered each school on its merits, which would you pick or how would you compare them. (I know that we aren’t getting into all but I want to have some comparison before decision time.)[/quote]

Town---have heard wonderful things about it. My DCs went to a different K-8 but I liked the model, particularly during the middle school years. I know people want to avoid the HS application process, but for both of my kids it was a good learning experience. We enjoyed looking at different schools as a family, and they had a chance to test out essay-writing, taking standardized tests, and interview skills before applying to college.

At this age, I would not rule out location as an important factor in making your decision. It's nice to live close to school during the early years.[/quote]
