[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Fieldston, CSH, Nightingale, St Anns, maybe Packer.  Riverdale I would say has graduated to TT.[/quote]

This is solid. Then 3T CGP, Trevor, Dwight, Birch [/quote]

Not to be a hater but Dwight and Birch are lower than CGP and Trevor. Though Birch, which was getting kind of iffy, apparently has been moving up in the world.[/quote]

Definitely moving up in the world since they got a new HOS two years ago who is fantastic who then poached Columbia Grammar & Prep's insanely talented college admissions person.  [/quote]

Are you the woman on the UES moms FB group that brings up birch every possible instance? [/quote]

So funny. People don’t even rank Birch but they do rank Dwight. If there’s a 5T birch is it [/quote] isn’t birch special needs like York prep?[/quote]

I don’t think it explicitly is. They take many because they don’t want more rigorous academics. Some there don’t have special needs [/quote]

I think Birch has more scaffolding and support for kids with mild, manageable needs. So they can take a kid from Gaynor or or Windward but not from Gateway (if my understanding of those schools is correct). But unlike those schools, this is not all of the kids - there are plenty of kids without needs.

I know a kid who graduated from there several years ago who was very sharp and got a very good college placement and has thrived. I think that was the exception, not the rule at the time but they were not alone. I agree with what others have said that the school seemed to almost be in a death spiral but hired a good HOS and has really improved things. It will not be stealing kids from TT (or even 2T) anytime soon but it is finding its niche and doing OK.[/quote]
