[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hey all, expats here relocating this year, got into the processes pretty late
Ended applying to: Brownstones, Columbus, Montclare, WSMS (West Side Montessori), Avenues, CCDS (Christ Church).
How would you rank them ? cheers[/quote]

I’d cross Avenues off unless you want to stay there long-term. They’re not going to be helpful applying out for kindergarten.

Of your remaining schools I’d pick CCDS without much thought. WSMS is a huge school and exmissions was really messy this year. Brownstone and Columbus send a majority of their grads to public school. Montclare felt cold and transactional to me. I loved CCDS but couldn’t do the commute so chose a very similar school closer to home.[/quote]

I think the answer depends on what they want for elementary school. If they want private then I agree. Since they seem to live on the UWS, depending on exactly where they live I would consider public. And for public, as you noted, Brownstone and Columbus are both great (though my knowledge is a bit dated). They don't totally close out the private option though the other schools are likely better if you are focused on private.

What public elementary are you zoned for?

100% agree that Avenues makes no sense and would cut it no matter what.[/quote]

Valid point. When they asked to rank the schools my brain immediately assumed it was for kindergarten exmissions.[/quote]
